I've been rolling around in my head getting a 76-78 New Yorker for road trips. Some of them have the 400, some the 440. Of course I'd want the 440 but is there going to be much of a noticeable difference in power, assuming they are both running correctly with a most-likely deleted ELB? I know...

The earlier 68 300's that had the silver painted tail light panel -- was that painted with the silver argent? The one I'm working on was repainted by someone with just a run of the silver paint and I'd like to get it more like original.

I'm getting closer to being ready to paint. I had been buying my products--filler, primer, etc. at the local auto paint shop and was counting on their knowledge and assistance to help me get what I needed. However, when I went to their store a few days ago it was closed up :( When I look...

I was able to remove the upper trim pieces by sliding them off. But the shape of the outer curves prevents me from doing the same with the lower pieces. I'm thinking for the lower I'll need to pry where the clips are but I'm afraid I'm going to bend the trim and/or ruin the clips doing so...

As I've been doing bodywork on the 68 300 convertible rear fenders, I have detected that there is a slight outward bulge in the sheet metal above the wheel openings. We have 4 68's Chryslers: (2) 2-door 300's, a 2-door Newport, and a 4-door New Yorker, so I checked them all. Each one had some...

I know I had some other posts about restoring a 68 New Yorker and also a 68 Newport project...which most people probably forgot about by now (though I haven't). But the reason I haven't made any progress on them in a while is because I've been working on our 68 300 convertable. Well actually...

One of my current projects, which started out as repairing some rust in the trunk of our 68 300 convertible, mission creeped into also replacing much of the sheet metal in the trunk extensions, both inner and outer sections. I have been wondering if I should add some kind of drain holes or...

I bought a set of steel braided soft lines from Inline Tube and it's been a disaster so far. When I went to install the rear line, I discovered that all three lines had the wrong size female end on them. I communicated with Inline support and they sent me new fittings...twice (the first...

Saw this along the road on my way to work this morning. Thought it might be of interest. Location is Bloomsburg, PA. It says all original and garage kept. I only took a few minutes to look it over, but I don't doubt that. Looks very clean and rust-free. I don't know who owns it but I'll...

Although I can see inside the car through this rust hole, it doesn't open up directly to the other side. Does the cowl drain down past this spot? This is a 68 Newport

I don't normally think about a C-body and weight reduction at the same time. With the 68 Newport I'm working on, however, I'm making it one of the project's parameters. Now, I'm not talking extreme steps, like acid dipping the fenders. But things that are within reach of a DIYer like myself...

And I'm not talking about my C-bodies. I'm talking about my DD's that range from 1991 to 2011 in model years. Excerpted from WSJ: Tesla Inc. is recalling roughly 135,000 Model S luxury sedans and Model X sport-utility vehicles over touch-screen failures The move comes after the National...

I've been toying with the idea of making a custom instrument panel face, but I want it to look like it came from the factory. The panel in my 68 Chryslers use a combination of marks painted onto the black metal back panel and letters that are etched/engraved into the clear front cover. The...

I figured I'd start a thread on this project as some may find it interesting. What I've got is a 1968 Newport that was originally a 3-on-the-tree that someone converted to a 4-speed. I am not looking to restore it, rather, I'd like to make it nice but with some of my own touches to make it...

Pretty rough but could be a fixer-upper for someone if it's got a realistic reserve price 1968 Chrysler 300 Series | eBay

So this 440 I'm working on had an exhaust manifold stud broken off previously. It's on the driver side, to the right of the #7 exhaust port. It actually did not show any signs of having been leaking around the gasket in that area, but I thought it'd be the proper thing to do to get that out of...

Sorry to ask because I know there's lots of these threads all over the internet. But, honestly I've done a lot of searching and haven't come to a conclusive answer. I know this is a 73 because of the "J". But the trailing "T" I can't determine what it means. Some people say it means "truck"...

please watch my 6 second video of me wiggling the steering box input shaft on the 68 Newport and let me know your opinion it seems like a lot of slop to me. but I went over to the 68 New Yorker and wiggled that one and it's about the same. Though that don't mean anything because they both...
