Yet you didn't post the tag.

With the 200 speedo, isn't that a export car?
69 tags always seem to be light.

Just buy it tell after.
 
A nice looking car for "unhurried" motoring, even if it had a 318.
 
Did it come from Canada recently, or was it made there? The KPH speedo was not mandatory in Canada until much later, which would imply that this car was intended for the export.

Most of the C-bodies that were imported to Finland back in the day only had a few options:

Berner Company, which imported Plymouths and Chryslers, equipped them with White Wall tires, Power Disc Brakes and Sure-Grip as standard. The Chryslers also got the Rear Defogger. But nothing else. Crank windows and standard engines were the norm. Aro-Yhtymä Oy, which imported Dodges, did a little better. Beginning in early '70's, they began to order the C-bodies loaded with options, when they realized that they could sell more cars that way. And it worked, too.

I do believe I like that one. Very unusual and an eye catcher! Id drive it to Walmart anytime.
 
Yeahhh...i did this more or less with the 440 New Yorker...a man shouldn't push his luck to far ;)

I didn't asked the seller if i'am allowed to post it.

And that's it. :D
 
I worked at a Chrysler dealer in late 1969. I was in the showroom one time when a lady came in and wanted to order a new Chrysler with manual brakes and manual steering. The owners wife said that the last time they sold a Chrysler with manual steering was 1959! Our '57 Suburban 2 door wagon was a stick 6 with manual steering and brakes. The think the only options were the colors! Even came without a radio, it had one from Sears-Allstate.
 
I had a 70 Fury that was sooo bottom of the barrel city car. slant 6, manual drum brakes, no radio, manual steering, rubber floors. it was awful, a traffic hazard. I think I swapped some trim parts to my BB Fury cop car.
 
Is that a power tailgate window switch next to the Emergency flasher switch?

That is correct. From the add:
The paint was also renewed 15 years ago. The power steering pump is slightly leaking in one screw connection. The shift linkage should get some new rubber and adjusted, if you don't have any feeling then it rattles when shifting, check/adjust/clean the clutch. The 225 engine runs great. The station wagon is fully ready to drive! Electric rear window. Retractable. Sky would have to be hung properly again, missing tracks would be present. The exhaust might also need to be relocated more elegantly. Km/h speedometer. Tank came new.

That's pretty standard coding for Windsor (R plant) built cars up until mid May. They only used two lines in the tag. So, the Windsor plant tags tell us very little about options or how the car was equipped.

Only after Mid May, did the plant start to show more codes. By the end of the model year, the Windsor tags start to look like other plants.

Windsor cars usually have little no tag coding, for an example, here is the tag from my '69 Sport Fury which is a very optioned out car.

This car is a H code 383-330HP, 3.23 gear, PDB, Cruise control, power window car, among other options it has.....
