This. When I joined here, I got self conscious about what I paid for mine but in the end its subjective. If you love the car, then its worth it no matter what you paid.

Is it possible to make the "u suk list" with less than 10 posts and about 24 hours on board? 
Very cool!

Of coarse I will say awesome car! Just like mine except mine doesnt have AC 
but is convertable. As far as cost goes I just say as other will if you can afford it and it make you happy who cares. These are not investiment cars, they are cars to be enjoyed!

Can someone tell me what the bolt pattern is for the wheels on my car? Or what wheels will fit it? Looking to get a cheap set of wheels and tires to get it rolling while I work on it. Thanks again!

I'm a little late to the party, but also want to welcome you to this great site. Nice looking car you snagged.
It's nice you taking the time to take the car to show the daughter. I'm sure she will appreciate it.

That is the best way to do things. ;) And congrats on the car, and welcome to the board.
As for rims...as mentioned they are 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. If the car is a disc brake car then you will probably need 15" rims to clear the calipers.
This is true
If you decide to change the wheels I'd go with 15's personally not matter if it has discs or not
15" Magnum 500's would look great or if it's not discs the factory 14" Road Wheels are plentiful and great looking ... back then Mopar car dealers sold Magnum 500's right in the dealership. They went to their own 14 inch versions w/ trim rings for 69
If it were me I'd use red line tires, RWL, or blackwalls

Wow those look great! I will have to start searching for a set! Anyone have an idea if the wheel covers in my picture look original? I’m struggling with keeping this car in its original state or dressing it up a bit… Any thoughts? Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Alone with wheels I need to be on the lookout for the passenger side rear window trim since the one I have is damaged. Kinda hard to tell in the pictures but its messed up beyond repair. Anyone have any lines on one? When I get the car next Friday I’m sure I will start a new project thread if ya’ll don’t mine!

Yes, you have the original caps on the car. They are 14" and with the 14s you also know you have 11" drum brakes and will be able to get ball joints, and the 14" or 15" Magnums will fit. Even the 15" Magnums will not clear the early calipers, as they have a ridge that sticks outward.
The '68 300 came with bucket seats as standard equipment, so that is why it shows a credit for the bench interior option. The less common option that you have is the cruise control. Two things that show you have an early '68 are your horn button and the silver tail panel; the later '68s had black tail panels.
Definite fan of your car, I have had my red one since I was 13 and have owned a couple others that I no longer have. Stan posted the yellow one here for sale that I bought a couple years ago, but it needs a complete rh quarter. I am always on the prowl for the right one or else I will have to give up the search and break down and redo my red one, but it is getting pretty rough these days.
