Found this great story of a family of '70 300 converts on FB

[sauterd]

This is our family of 5. All are 1970. All are 300s. My dad collected these over the years and has given me and my siblings each one and still has one. The light blue was purchased new in 1970 and is now in the possession of my brother. The darker blue is my dad's that he drives. Mine is the red one. This pic was the first time all 5 were together since 1997. Today we surprised my Dad, who hasn't seen them all in one place since 97 either, by having them all together today at a car show, the Mopar Happening in Belvidere, IL. Dad took home 3rd place with his car which made it even a better day for him.

couldn't resist asking, so here it is. and two are TNT cars ! It seems there are more 70 TNT 300s out there than 69's even though they made half the amount of cars in 70 vs. 69. Oh well, who's to say?

Dale Sauter excellent, are they all unrestored originals? any TNT's in there?

Marty Hagen No, no real survivors here unfortunately. Darker blue has been repainted and interior redone. Green one I believe has had mainly just a repaint and couple interior repairs. Lighter blue was all redone 20years ago (was my mothers daily driver all through the 70s). The red and white ones needs some body work and interior repairs but are decent driver cars and look decent.
Two of them are TNT cars, the dark blue and red. Three of them are console cars also, dark blue, white and red ones.

But yours will all be the same colour.

The blackwalls on the green one just make it look so drab.

That's possible....certainly no green ones

Well one of them has the road wheels but only white walls. Eventually I will find a set of road wheels for my red one

One of these convertibles don't match.. Lol

Wow!

And I use to think a collection of all same year/model cars is boring...

Not this time, this is so cool!

I love how dad gave us all the same. The different options and colors set them apart and they are not side by side all the time but it's impressive when they are. I am kind of fond on the 70 300 for some reason and would love to expand the family someday (like after a winning lotto ticket or kids grown and moved out haha). I want to add 3 more to my personal collection, a Hurst, a two door, and a four door, so I have one of each style made in 70. Someday........ Lol

I was there both days. Saturday was the Dodge Charger show. It was a pretty empty field compared to Sunday.
See my post in the "General" section for pics from Sunday.
