I love your car, and I love fast tops. Is this really a fast top? I didn't think that was an option on this car. I'm probably wrong.

As I understand it, the 2 doors with the forward slanted roof line was the Fast Top (1967 & 1968 Mopars). The other 2 door hardtops didn't have a specific name attached
 
That is Very nice! Body looks straight and solid. Head light doors are perfect! Magnum 500's would really set it right.

When I bought mine it had cragars, didnt look right. 1968 you could get magnums as option, thats I went with.

Still debating if I should go with the original 14's vs 15's though. Since I have the 15's on now maybe I'll go with the stock 14 M500's to be completely original
 
VERY sharp - blue w/white top especially nice, especially on sunny days. Not normally a fan of non-stock wheels, but these seem to work fine to me, almost like the Road wheel that came a couple years later. Magnums are always nice, especially on a 300, and you could just as easily use 15" as you could 14"
 
You may want to consider some 2014 Mustang wheels like on mine. I picked up a set of 17" X 8" for less than $200.
 
Love it, nice touch on the wheels, very different. Beautiful color combo. All '68 2 door Chryslers are Fast tops, Newports, Newport Customs, 300's, and New Yorkers.
 
Wow, that is a sharp car. "Fast Top" you say, I've never heard that expression. So is my '67 Newport a Fast Top?
 
Hey Bjorn, are those wheels original, or Mopar? I really like them.
They are American Racing Ar61 - Outlaw Wheels 15x7. Had them on a '70 Charger in the past and I like the look. 225/70-15 tires which balances the size of the car nicely IMO, compared to the original 14's.
