Hello all, Ive been a lurker here for a little while. I have been watching the C Bodies for sale ads all over the place = looking for a nice 68 300 convertible to buy. I had a near hit on a nice car in New York, but eventually it didn't pan out for me. I came across a low mile 68 out of the Ft Wayne Indiana craigslist, and started the dialog with the seller. I asked if he felt the car was roadworthy enough to drive it from Indiana to my home in Maine...He said the longest trip he had ever been in the car was when he bought it in Ohio, and drove it 3hrs back to his home. but he believed that I should have no problem driving the car the 1000 miles to Maine. I took a chance and gathered up my money - booked a one way flight (quite the journey itself, as I arrived 13 hours later than scheduled) and ended up with "Stan" meeting me at the airport and taking me to his home to have a look at the car. It was everything he said it was = super super solid , fantastic original condition, and the motor sounded, and ran smooth as silk. So at approximately 1:30 AM on Friday morning I pointed the beautiful beast east and cruised home to Maine!!! I arrived home @ 11:00PM Friday night!!! It performed in all aspects FLAWLESSLY !!!!. It is an absolute pleasure = this is the ultimate road car!! Saturday morning I swapped out the 14 inch wheels for new 15" magnum 500s that I had already to go for the Chrysler. I gave it a well deserved bath, dropped the top and took the Mrs. and our daughter out for lunch, and a cruise of the local popular beach. People really get a kick out of this car = we had a great afternoon!! I took some pics of the journey = I will attempt to post them here!
