1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible - $4,000 - New Philadelphia, Ohio

FB Description
1970 chrysler 300. 383/727 clean/clear title. located in New Philadelphia oh 44663. $4000 obo I am listing this car for a buddy who isn't on any of the mopar pages, this car has been sitting since 1978-79. I was in the process of getting this to be a running/driving car but have since found that the frame has some soft spots in it and is starting to buckel and crush when being jacked up. Car has nice black interior and a nice black top. He was told it had been recovered rite before it was parked. There is some previous body work that had been done around the car along with a repaint, it was originally dark green. Brakes do seem to be working and motor is turning over. I will update the add with interior pictures/engine and frame area later this evening. Car is very complete and would either be a good parts car or repair and become a driver.

Hes being honest.

 

[Mike Parker]

What a drag. I was gettin ready to put my shoes on.

383? Stub is easy to replace. $4k gets you in the door with a nice start.

I was thinking the same thing but it was green, Ya know, once a *****....

If this was green then they did a terrific job with the color change, engine room, door jambs, etc. Also did a great job of reproducing the factory pin stripe. I can even see some evidence of the black out on the rocker. I suspect this is very original and seller does not know much about this car.

What color is inside the fenders?

What color is inside the fenders?

I don't see dark green, but perhaps very faded and dirty gold. Of course the inner fenders are black originally.

 

[polara71]

I'm not talking about the wheel well but the part of the fender under the hood.

 

[Samplingman]

Hard to tell, but they look gold to me. even the hood hinges. All I'm saying is we need to remember the lesson of the Craig's List Moron thread. Everyone thought the blue '70 300 was a joke until @ayilar scored a diamond.

 

[boostedvan]

That's a great deal for someone who wants to put the work into it. I'd be willing to bet it gets snapped up pretty quickly. It's missing the 1/4 panel lower trim which might suggest some filler in the quarters.

No one knows that more than me. I always look at all cars that interest me ( 70/71 Polaras).

I understand your thoughts, completely. I thought it would be a good buy with the frame swap before this conversation.
So, we're the fenders swapped and the 383 sticker still on there from a Newport?

Someone's gotta get to the bottom of this.

Looks like a perfect black interior to complete the 12K TNT 1970 300 convertible for sale with the current red non-factory interior. bucket seats, headrests, nice steering wheel......

 

[ayilar]

Looping back as it seems that I do not have files for this 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible. Did anybody save the original photos from the ad, and/or the fender tag?

 

[fury fan]

Stumbled on this old thread from the 'similar threads' down below. @ayilar

Photos/listing is still up on FB but nothing further of documentation. No FT or VIN listed - but there's this 'update'.
Obviously the VIN and FT should show 440, but what if this was a U-code?
I wonder if that's what the buyer discovered when he looked at it? Put on the poker face, handed over $3750 and put it on the trailer before the seller knew what he'd lost???

 

[330dTA]

In the engine bay view there’s a log manifold and blue valve cover… it does not have E86 under hood.

 

[fury fan]

I agree with that, but those parts could've been swapped for some reason.
And why would hte seller state HP2, then?
No way to know without seeing the FT, I suppose.
Not that it matters at this point now, though..

 

[ayilar]

Well, it does still matter for historical records. What I was hoping, when reviving the thread, is that some of the usual suspects might have saved the info at the time.

@Samplingman @cuda hunter @69monaco @T-revorNobody @Mike Parker @67newport

 

[fury fan]

Well, unless one of the guys above got the FT from the seller, you'll hafta save this one in your historical records with a big fat question mark next to it.

 

[cuda hunter]

Not I.
I did try to get more info on the car though.
