That one's only 15 away from one I used to own (but not a 'vert).
Oh, of course. C Bodies exist to keep E Bodies running. Or, to replace the factory 318 with a big block. Boring....

Not sure if this one has been posted yet. @ayilar Can't get the link to work but it's posted in Mopar Swap Shop on FB. Phone number in the ad is 352-445-6155.
Thanks a lot @azblackhemi -- this 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible is listed on FB in Belleview, FL for $4.5k. The owner is member @Brien Radley (see here)
No tag yet, but I see it in one of the pics. I suspect that the car was not originally from Florida, as this T-code ("original 440 engine" that "did run when parked" as per the ad; the air cleaner is clearly not correct for the car) does not have A/C. There is some rust, which explains why the asking price is $4.5k (the seller has "a perfect hood and deck lid, but there is rust on the panel between top and trunk").

@JDX kindly posted the fender tag of CM27T0C219104 (or is it CM27T0C219184 ?) four years ago, in response to my request as he was parting out the car. I thanked him at the time, of course (and again now!), but it does not look like I posted the info in the present thread -- so here it is for records. Green inside (M6F8) and out (FF4), with a green stripe (V7F) and a black top (V3X), but not too many options options.
Perhaps @JDX could share what he knows about the car’s history: the lack of tinted side glass (G15 tinted windshield only) and A/C, combined with options like cornering lights, fancy AM radio with 8-track (R31) and power seats, together show that this ‘very was not a "poverty spec" 300: it must have been a northern car. April 8, 1970 SBD. Parts sold in April 2019. RIP.

Some of the parts from CM27T0C219184 will live on in my vert.

PM27G0D16x4xx (is it PM27G0D168407 ?) is currently for sale on FB in New Orleans, LA. It is being advertised as a project, but it looks like a parts car to me.
EW1 white with M4B3 blue bench interior and V3W white convertible top. Except for A/C and a woodgrain wheel (unfortunately in poor condition), this Fury iii has very few options. Indeed, it looks like the brakes were manual drums. SBD was Nov. 24, 1969.
PS: @Four4tmag may like the hood for parts, as it has the L31 Plymouth-only hood-top signal repeaters.

I'm not convinced this is a parts car yet, but obviously it needs more inspection.
The gaps at the trunklid are A1 and the driver side looks pretty straight.
Does the passenger door have an issue - or is it just unlatched?
The seats look better than the rest of the car deserves - does that mean the rest of the car might be better than what we can see?
Front seat pattern looks incorrect, so apparently recovered at some point.
Has a little bit of firewall rust around the MC, and seems like it has some down low in the quarters that aren't shown.
But from what is visible - it's not displaying any rust that we're not familiar with.
Yes, it needs lots of cosmetics, but it might be a good base to fix up, considering the $2000 price.

One more U-code 300 'vert -- CM27U0C230575 is the second EA4 in the TNT 1970 ragtop directory. @70 Sport Suburban gets the credit for finding her. The owner is in Wisconsin.
This EW1 300 'vert was first flagged by @mdh157 back in August 2022. Eight months to the day later, this 'vert is still listed for sale on Hemmings.
At the same time, @mdh197 also flagged a second 300 'vert -- EB7. He found the window sticker, but the area showing the VIN was faded and we got the VIN from the title photo. Still, absent the fender tag, we had no info on the car's SBD -- which is the official topic of this thread.
Turns out the car is still for sale and, thanks to @SportFury70's FB search, we have the tag! SBD April 30, 1970 -- just about 53 years ago!
Here are a few pics of CM27T0C229842

Thanks for getting the info for this car straight. I was trying to figure out the lack of a code on the tag for A/C, despite the clear presence of a compressor in the engine compartment photo. This car has aftermarket A/C. Note the small 22" radiator - rather than the 26" associated with factory A/C.

I was messaging the owner back in December. The AC is dealer installed and he said it looks factory, no “knee banger” vents. There are no good pics of the dash, so I cant really tell. I was tempted to go look at this one since it is right over the river from me outside of Philly, but at the time I was still recovering from surgery.
I really thought this tag was posted before somewhere in this thread. He has lots of documentation, including the receipt for the ac install in 1972 and a letter from Chrysler stating only 903 1970 ‘verts were sold.

Hey! This is great info, even though the Chrysler letter and window sticker are very difficult to read. Much appreciated. Looks like this car started life in NH, migrated to PA and was finally stored somewhere wet. . . All red flags. I think this car is almost a Parts Car.

That's why I wanted to see it in person, but the undercarriage pics looked very clean. He was pretty firm on the price back in December and I think he mentioned it didn't run, may be why it hasn't sold in all this time.
