Dear fellow C-body freaks,

I found a 300 convertible 1969 on the chrysler 300 club website. The seller doesn't do computers or wire transfers, etc. so I thought perhaps this is a gem of a barge/rare find, etc.
(it was posted by a friend of his with incrementally better computer skills).

I paid a local body shop owner to inspect, and the review I wrongly interpreted more 'rosey' than I should have. After driving to terre houte Indiana last friday (from new hampshire), I inspected the car on Saturday 3/3/18. If you are interested I can bore y'all with the specifics, but in short, this car needs a complete restoration. It is not a very well maintained car with a couple of rust spots/imperfections here and there. It is better described as a car needing a complete restoration, with a few good points here and there.

Silver lining - it was a good adventure.
Dude wants $8k

So if you are looking for this car to completely restore, you now have more info. Good luck.

Was it this 300, I looked at it last summer. At best a parts car.

no, it Was this one. Looks real good in photos, and light years ahead of the blue parts car at best, but not for me.
 
Right! My wife and I got into a wee spat over the large number of projects I have open around the house & in the garage. As a compromise and to keep the peace, I agreed to sell one of my Newports. She was pleased and I put a for sale sign on the windshield that evening.
First $10 million bucks get it. Price is firm.
