Resurrection of my 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible

[Samplingman]

excellent looking parts car

I kind of feel guilty about that, especially since there aren't too many around.

The rods are headliner bows. The color is for position.

Thanks, I couldn't even imagine. As you can see there is no headliner.

I thought so, I tried to move them but they didn't budge. Are you still looking for a stub frame? I need this to be a roller until at least the spring, lets talk then.

O.K. sounds like a plan........

There's no separate switch for the door locks. Push the knob down on the drivers side and the passenger side goes down too etc.

Ah, ha! There is no knob, that's why I couldn't figure it out!

Sounds like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel for the white car?

Nice score, although I'm on the fence about parting out "driver" quality cars....that 300 is barely....barely a driver in the shape its in IMO.....so its going to make a great parts car.

Nope......

That car must have been a real looker back in the day. It's rusty but it looks pretty straight, damn shame that it ended up this way.

I thought the same thing, samplingman where did you find it?

Originally the idea was to use this as a driver for the next 6 months, but with the brakes, tires and interior so far gone I may just leave it parked until it's parted. I don't have the cash to put into it right now, but anything I do will eventually end up on the convertible anyway, so it's all good.

I found it on eBay back in August. The seller had a reserve, but I didn't win the bid. A little hunting on CR and I found it in VA for $2500, so I passed but opened up a dialog. It reappeared on eBay last week, so I shot him an offer after it didn't meet the reserve again.

I want to polish up a spot of the paint to see what Black Velvet would have looked like. I think it's neat that it's build date is so close to Halloween, it has a mean look to it and the girls are a little creeped out by it.

That is exactly the way to do it!!! Nice job of stalking.

Yea, I get it. And you damn sure don't want to be driving a car like that around with questionable brakes. Things could get real ugly, real fast. By the way whereabouts in South Jersey are you? The area looks very familiar.

I'm stupid, what's CR....

LOL, sorry Craig's List. I'm in the Mooristown area. 1950's suburbia always looks similar.

Craig's Rist.

It's very big with the Japanese community.
