That Haze Green 68 looks just like the Fury I Slant 6 auto I used to own. It was a stripped down thing... radio delete, no PS, no PB, just a heater for those Canadian winters up here. Great cars.

Slabs were the height of build quality for C bodies and arguably 68 was best as the bugs had been worked out at the end of the run...things dropped off badly from a quality standpoint on the Fusey's (gaps, door closure, materials). Formals started out roughly at Fusey quality levels but steadily...

Hood trim too from the pics provided...

The missing trim is a big negative...very hard to find in decent shape.

Inflation is murdering people's pocket books. Very little discretionary funds out there.

Never saw that air cleaner design before...I got nothing on this one.

Congratulations! What a car!

Replaced the vacuum booster on my 79 Cordoba. Oh, my back...

The stub should be the same, but the engine mounts on the stub are very likely different from the 6 to the 8. The torsion bars for the 8 will likely meed to be swapped too as they were beefier from the 6s.

I'm glad it's going to be restored. Love the skirts! Helps it blend in...

When it happened to me it was the bushings on the rear shocks...

No problem. As mentioned above, C bodies are unibody construction from the firewall back...the body is the frame. Up front Chrysler used a stub frame that mounted the engine, trans, brakes, suspension and the front clip was mounted up after the body was dropped onto the assembed Stub frame on...

If you are talking about the stub frame, I'd replace it with a rust free piece.

No...these Chrysler Valiants were tiny compared to C bodies...think "A body" when looking at these...like 111 inch wheel base max.

Not factory. I suspect it was done by one of the aftermarket shops that specialized in that trade however...like the company that did the Cordoba convertibles.

Only one error regarding the rotors that I felt obliged to correct. The Budd rotors bolf to a hub assemby. All Budd rotors have the same bolt circle for the hub. The hubs are what give the different bolt circles for the rims to bolt to. There are two different hubs for Budd brakes: Imperial or...

Like rd92west said, the way to bring back the speedometer to reading "true" is through the speedo drive gear. Since yours is reading wrong, I presume you changed something...either tires or diff ratio as these are what will affect how the speedo reads.

Sorry to see the smashed C's...but as long as they did their job and you survived to tell the tale, that's what is important. I hope you're feeling better soon!

Congratulations on the beautiful Newport!

Somebody is going to get an amazing car. This is the bench mark, in my opinion, on how to do these cars (white walls, factory wheel covers...little Mopar tweaks like Mbody 15x7 rims).
