    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Nooo when I had the 300 I was 23, now I'm 28 ;) I decoded fendertag yet, I think I we seet it at page 1 or 2, it was a special order car with bench seat, and yes vinyl roof, at the time I wrote my first posts I was not aware that the seal on the C-pillars was totally normal :p BTW, these models...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    As winter was coming, I stored the 300 in a parking space in a barn (like almost every summer cars here in Quebec) and got it out in april of 2016 The spring fever at its best :p ...despite the late snow falls My buddy's '70 NewYorker was getting worse and worse, its days were...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Excellent, thanks alot! :) I just purchased yesterday 2 x 5L of Castrol GTX 5W30, special price at 18$ CAD each, not so bad :p I'm gonna do my oil change tomorrow on the Imperial and try to progress on the 300, probably begin by removing all backglass chrome moldings and cry a couple of hours...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Hi! Little question for you: which type of oil do you put in your engine? I wanna do my oil change on the Imperial (but the question can be for my 300 too) this weekend but I'm not sure about the oil: my car will running only between may and october so temperatures between 50 and 90°F (10...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Ahah I understand that feeling, habitually I'm like "original or nothing", with original wheels, original trim, original paint...everything original! Not because original is most beautiful (habitually), but original is...original, like every car should be and like every car was when it leave...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Ahah right Commando! I explain you the situation: I've owned 40 different cars in last years, my pleasure is not to own a car, but to buy it, and sell it, I know that's strange and a bit ridiculous, but I do my cash with that and I can afford a greater model each time Some years ago (when I had...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Like you'd seen I finally opened my trunk, and find a great stock of spare parts...intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, water pump, valve covers, fan, timing pan, window handles, wiper linkages and motor and a lot of gaskets and other parts...I'll show you them in details later There is a...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    I don't know for you, but here in Canada I'd owned a lot of old cars and almost all of them had these crusty door sill plates...aluminium does'nt like calcium Now the truth about my floor pans...I've scrubbed a long time with a screwdriver and a trowel and open a couple of rust holes...

    Now, the best part (for you, not for me :BangHead: ) Just when you see these carpets you understand instantly that you'll have some really bad surprises when you'll remove them All the carpets are wet and soaked, the insulating pad stucked under the carpet is good in Florida or other south...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Thanks to you all guys! :p Yes I fear what I'm gonna find under these damned moldings The trunk pan is rusty but generally solids (like my front floor pans) and the floor under the rear seat is perfect, but the water leaks and stagnates right there, so I was surprised when I see there is no...

    My first Mopar : '68 Chrysler 300...needs a lot of love...

    Ahah yes, I'm habitually a big purist (no modifications) but my 300 is all but original (does'nt have its original paint and original engine) so why not to "personalize" it a bit with dog-dish caps and a dual exhaust? But off course I'm gonna keep the original wheels in my basement I don't...
