Original floor mats too!

I would kill for a set of NOS floor mats for my car.

Found this in a barm two houses over from my Grandfathers shop!

Love the way the instrument panel is laid out.

Pictures from yesterday except for the floor mat that was before I cleaned them, put load leveler shocks on the back and put road wheels on it looks even better now.

This car looks amazingly well preserved. Guess it's still original paint ? No signs of overspray on door jambs etc. you'd expect from a typical old not so costly repaint.

Wow those mats are even better shape than I thought. I don't know why I love those mats so much, I wish someone would make an exact reproduction of them.

Side note I see there are Chrysler scripts on both side of the rear quarter panel. Mine only has one at the rear of the car. Anyone know why one is set up one way or the other? I have only noticed them on the rear of the '66. Mine is a convertible if that might be the difference from the coupe.

Have the certicard and everything, owners manual also engine bay has no rust but is gonna get a good scrub, gotta rebuild the power steering pump (it's moist on the pump), replace the rear pinion seal and change all fluids also change tranny filter, and before driving season I'm gonna have the radiator recored it has the green on the tank so it's only a matter of time before it causes issues. Has new brake lining the entire way around including wheel cylinders also.

We checked everywhere paint wise and the only thing that has been repainted at some point was the tops of the fenders and the hood, other then that it's all original paint.

I am in love with this car.

I am in love with this car.

And the certicard has your name on it.

Yes it does. Too bad it wasn't my barn find.

This car is fantastic! I'm with Ross on this one, my favorite year for the 300 and its in the same condition as my Imp.

I love the dash boards on these cars, not really a "not good" design on them. I still lean towards the 68's as my favorite 300...I think :shruggy:

 

[cm23uoc]

I'm no big fan of everybody's favorit color red or two tones, but the condition makes that a moot point even to myself.

 

[detmatt]

There really is no bad angle to view these from but I especially love the grille.

 

[detmatt]

Here's one the o.p. should appreciate!
