Okay, I can almost hear the purist mob sharpening their pitchforks and grabbing their torches as I type this, bit I think that car ended out looking really sharp. I don't want to know what indignities the interior suffered to get a $5k stereo installed, and I don't want to know what's hiding...

Not mine and nothing to gain, just saw it and thought I'd share. It also got my curiosity started. http://www.speedwayautosales.com/vehicle-details/1967-chrysler-new-yorker-sedan-5451005b44db4983966d91df8539566f/ I really don't like the wheels, am not fond of the color, and am worried what...

Yep, I'd LOVE to see the invoice for the swap. I saw something along these lines at an auction about 10 years ago - 66 Satellite (if memory serves) bought in Western NC as a Hemi 4 speed car. It was upgraded to race Hemi specs, got suspension upgrades to support extra weight in the rear, and...

I haven't been to Royal Oak in many years, but was definitely a nice area when I last visited my aunt and uncle! As far as the car, I think I might have leaned toward fixing the rear quarters before the paint on the roof. It looks like the drivers rear is eaten up...but maybe that's just mud...

Yeah....I wasn't going to point that part out. I like the car, but not too keen on the price. That said, it could be worse. How about this one? http://classiccars.com/listings/view/589784/1968-chrysler-300-for-sale-in-west-okoboji-iowa-51351 Pretty car, but $42K? Maybe I'm a cheapskate...

This one isn't mine, just saw it while looking around and drooled over my computer a bit. Full ad is here: http://www.autotraderclassics.com/classic-car/1968-Chrysler-300-2336251.xhtml?conversationId=1668661 I love the steel wheels and poverty caps and the blue on blue. Not sure if it's an...

Thanks, Coronet! I would not have known to look for the side latch, nor would I have recognized the importance. That's why I like reading on here, learn something new every time.

I went poking on the Imperial club site and found the picture at this link ( www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1968/Brochure/Page14-15.jpg ). The interior on craigslist looks very similar to the original 1968 ad. The ad mentions "Crown Convertible seats". So maybe a drop-top got mugged for its...

It would be nice if they would post a pic of the plaque on the dash and some of the supporting paperwork with the ad.

I was just surfing around and saw this. I'm assuming this is original equipment, but figure y'all will let me know if not. I realize it's impossible to know if they're original to THIS CAR, but curious if anyone spots anything that is an obvious later add...

Hopefully the donk-makers will find a less expensive starting point than this one!

Looks to me like someone with a spare drivetrain in their garage could have something to bang around in for very little cash.

Anyone know if Legendary has Imperial interiors? I took a look at their catalog and don't see seat covers for Imperials. If they have a template it sounds like different colors or patterns are an option. But not sure what they can do if they don't have a template. I guess a local interior...

I'm not sure what best offer is going to get it, but was just cruising through Craigslist and saw it again (http://reading.craigslist.org/cto/4733442590.html). Down to $4500 now. That's a pretty good discount in a little over 3 months.

Jayfire, are all of the interior panels with the car? I saw the pic of the front door panels in the trunk, but wasn't sure if everything else was there. PS, PB, A/C, power windows? Ticking off all the boxes I'm looking for, I'm just not quite in the market yet. But please keep it away from...
