    My first C-body...kinda

    I just added this entry to my garage: Back in 2008, my brother and I inherited this 1967 Newport from my late father: our parents bought it in July 1970. Unfortunately it was not feasible for either of us to keep it. Having been sold off ca 2009, I hadn't thought of posting it here until...

    NOT MINE 1976 Town & Country - $49,555

    That insanely priced '76 T&C from Duncan Motors is back - with a big discount to a mere 49.5 grand. I'm fanatic about these cars, but at that price ... WTF?!? I guess I'll have to settle for the '85 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit for half the price. Not nearly as pretty as the Chrysler, IMO. 1976...

    Hey, a 1966 300 in Capital One commercial!

    I just saw this on TV and wasn't paying much attention until halfway through when the spot treats viewers to a sweet '66 300 convertible at a drive-in. Despite the dark setting, you get a good side view. :thumbsup: I don't remember the last time I saw a credit-card commercial that I actually...

    Fusie New Yorker sighting in Omaha

    I spotted a '72 New Yorker sedan down the street from Benson High School in Omaha. It was parked in someone's driveway. I'm just curious if it belongs to an FCBO member.

    Is it the ignition switch or relay that's failing? ('74)

    On occasion, the ignition switch on my T&C does nothing when I turn it to START. It doesn't matter if the shift lever is in Park or Neutral. If I turn the key to ON and jump the relay terminals, it'll start fine. In the thread, "Intermittent Ignition Switch Failure", the OP states that his...

    I still wonder if this is an April Fools joke

    Calling all Texans, is this for real? Or, as an acquaintance of mine might say, "You're shittin' me!" Semi loaded with toilet paper crashes and burns on TX interstate

    Jack off, anyone? (Bumper jack safety question)

    The bumper jack for my '74 T&C leans like the Tower of Pisa. Maybe they designed it this way to compensate for the curvature of the upward bumper movement? I thought that the jacks for my mother's '67 Newport and my '73 Scamp pointed straight up when in use. The base doesn't look like it's...

    Seat belt help needed (driver's seat)

    The lower retractor for my driver's seat belt keeps locking up, fighting back when pulling it out to use it. The problem is in the recoil/ release device: after I unfasten the buckle, the belt doesn't retract all the way on its own, and has to be fussed with to get it back. That's getting harder...

    On '74 AT-II, can you use heater without running compressor?

    My T&C got nice and warm with the Auto Temp II set accordingly - and then the a/c compressor seized. So guess what happens when the clutch engages. My question: Can I just disconnect the clutch solenoid and run the heater like a car that isn't equipped with a/c? I could just try it but I...

    '75 Newport sighting - Council Bluffs, IA

    Saw a really nice one at Don's Automotive repair shop on West Broadway, while I was driving to work. Four-door sedan, Inca Gold Metallic. Does someone on FCBO own it? It was still in the parking space when I was returning home, so I swung in to take a picture. Had to do so on the fly because...

    System charges at high RPM only

    My '74 T&C won't start without a jump. The battery is less than a year old. I noticed that the system doesn't charge unless the engine is running at high r.p.m.'s. At lower speeds the ammeter reads low and I can't even get the turn signals to work; the w/s wipers are really slo-o-o-w, etc. Put...

    Welcome Mid70's Chrysler Fanatic to FCBO!

    Finally got my 1974 Town & Country after decades of waiting. (First took a liking to them when they were new - and I was way too young to drive.) In 1974, fewer than 10,000 of these lovely wagons were made. Now they make hen's teeth seem commonplace. Mine gets a lot of admiration; sometimes...
