67 chrysler300

I've got a 67 300 with 440 TNT engine and automatic. The car runs fine with no issues as long as the temperature is below 80 degrees. Once it gets hotter than that it has two issues that make it annoying to drive. The first one's been with me since I've owned the car (12 yrs) and the other for about a year now.
If I sit at a traffic light for a few minutes the temp starts to creep up. It's usually 180 rock solid as long as it's below 80. It creeps up to 200 or so within a minute or two. It does go back down to 180 once I get moving. If I sit in traffic or go from stop light to stop light the temp never goes down but continues to go up. It's annoying because I'd hate to get stuck in a big traffic jam in the summer so I try my best to avoid a lot of traffic. The car has a 180 stat, a 3 row core 26" radiator from Glen Ray, a 6 blade fan from Bouchillon Performance with a fan clutch (aftermarket) and the stock shroud. Any ideas or is this normal behavior?
The new issue is once the car is good and hot on an 80 or above day it will usually take off from a stop or a light normally but occasionally when you step on the gas it will BOG down big time feeling almost like the ignition has stopped. Let off the gas and in a few seconds it's fine again.
