Wollfen's 1969 Chrysler 300 Convertible

[Wollfen]

That looks like the same generic power antenna bezel I took off the ‘73. Murray Park had the correct one for about $30.

This is what the ‘70 looks like:

Cool thanks for that, I think for now it is low on my priority list, I am more inclined to get the center speaker thing for the rear seat from you. I still haven't looked at the spare rear seat i have yet.

thanks for all of the info, guys, interesting. In other news, I finally found an affordable red on white 69 300..........and I make a LOT of trips to the fridge.

That’s going to be a stunner by the time you’re done with it Gary!

Okay here goes, my main concern was checking the structural integrity of the car and making sure the chassis was solid, I did this while the car was on the car trailer but i didn't get any pics. Today I cleaned out the six inches of leaves and wet rags and mud in the floor of the car and the trunk. I was pleasantly surprised to find that almost all of it is solid and wont need any replacement metal put in. The front foot wells though will need to be done. I do have spares to do this.
Inspecting the outside of the car I found the trunk water channel solid with no rust at all, again just lots of leaves. The hood also is solid with no rust. The sides of the car down low do have some spots but nothing major for me and wont take too long to repair. Check the pics and see.
Lastly having looked in the car I can see it is a non AC car but does have disk brakes, electric windows and seat. It also has a vacuum lock on the trunk. Also has three speed wipers. I will post the fender tag soon and someone can decode all this car had originally.

Wow Dale, you bargain hunter, that's even cheaper than my car!

Yes Matt, I don't normally go for gold cars but I think white on gold in this particular instance is outstanding.

I thought I only had to put a hose in the picture if the car was wet or just washed?

Okay, if you pay for the flight to Wisconsin and back.

Yeah. . . But it just looks like it needs a hose. . .

I think you have a fetish.

Condition is now rough but it's going to be beauty. Will be watching this...

Here is a pic of the radio, if it was changed out then they changed the fascia as well to suit. Also I picked out my rear seat and armrests, it will fit the car but will need the speaker cover changed. In the third pic, is that a factory floor mat? And lastly, yup the front footwells will need to be replaced.

The seats have a different pattern for the Chrysler, but the frames should be the same. As for the speaker grill, all you have to do is swap out the Plymouth insignia with a "300" emblem. They are the same as the "300" on the 1970 door panels, it's how I restored mine.

Oh wait, my cars have the circular emblem, do you have a spare badge?

 

[Samplingman]

I'm packed away for the winter, but I'll take a look. There are a few NOS on ebay now, but all you really need is a scrap door panel from any 2-4 door, 70-71 300. They are nearly impossible to remove and usually the only thing left on junk car interiors.

Funny, I always thought the round medallions were cooler, not sure why they didn't use them for the speaker grills in the '69's in the first place.

The floormat is not factory. It's from Rubbermaid. I know that because my dad bought a set brand new back in the 60's for one of his cars. They've been in several cars since than and are now in my 1969 300 convertible. They last forever.
