Heres a few more. The red one with the white top in the first photo was at the Mopar Nationals in 1992. The same car appears again in three photos at the 94 Mopar Nationals when it was the Giveaway car for the show. As I recall, the organizers plans fell through for whatever giveaway car they had in mind. The red 300 vert was obtained at the last minute from a relative of one of the organizers so there would be a car to give away for the drawing at the end of the show. The two grainy pictures (2n'd and 3rd photos) I took in the car corral at Fall Carlisle in about 1984 or so. The red one with white interior and the top down parked between a Superbird and a red 67 Polara convertible was at the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio some time in the 90's. The last one is a 70 I photographed at the Chrysler show at Carlisle. Its not a 69, but doesn't it look good in that dark silver color? Oops...off topic again.

Thanks for your effort to scan these photo's. I am wondering where these are living now...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have them all! As I mentioned before in this topic I am searching for cars that are not on the internet! Besides, photo's on the internet are often of a poor quality and never never contain photo's of VIN's etc...

So,... I guess that means you're checking all the various "for sale" sites on a regular basis as well. If not, you would miss cars that are either currently for sale or recently sold, such as these from Cars On Line.

That is very interesting. I would like to know the story behind this beautiful car too. This car is somewhere overseas.

Pictures are taken in my home town Jyväskylä, which is in Finland. Wheels and paint color is matter of taste. I really like how this project turned out.

Thanks.

I don't mention it at web page, but I bought and built this car for my wedding. That was also a big influence for color change. Having an exotic vin and pilot car was a surprise. Being a pilot car, I did not find a lot of oddities, but maybe few are worth mentioning:

- Car was painted two times at the factory. The paint underneath bronze was orangish (is that a real word).
- Right side quarter panel extension has different shape than left. The right extension trim was missing. A few weeks back I found used trim, but it did not fit even close. My right extension has kind of 'S' shaped profile (from above), while it seems like production cars had more like one concave curve. Its kind of difficult to explain in words.
- Inside the door, there is a metal piece that bolts in between inner and outer metal, just underneath the vent window. Bolt on with 3 bolts. On right side there was a left side piece, modified to fit to the right side.

I believe everything on car was factory original. There was absolutely no evidence that car had been tampered with. But everything is possible of course.
