$14,110 in US Dollars. Nice car and a Canadian 300 but I think the seller is optimistic on his price. I regret selling my US 300 4 door hardtop many years ago. That was an awesome car.

This seems to be a very shady car. I was very seriously looking at it but the VIN and fender tags don't seem to match.
,
Fender tag appears to be from a Scorch Red car and CE, everything I find shows 66 300's were CM, I show Newports as CL, which car was CE? They both are 4-door Sedan (41) tags and not 4-door hardtop (43) tags.

Am I missing something?

Vin actually shows it to be a ‘65. Crazy Canadians! The vin and the data tag don’t match each other or the car.

Yeah that's some weird stuff going on with the VIN and fender tag. That's not like any 1966 Chrysler VIN tag I've seen before. The Canadian ones look like the US ones, except they have "MADE IN CANADA" stamped on them. Whoever restored it painted the engine turquoise instead of the correct red. Big blocks made at the Windsor, ON plant were painted red.

That fender tag is off a 1967-68 Newport. It has 7 rows, not like a 1965-66 tag with 6 rows, and is laid out differently. "CE41" is the body code for a 67-68 Newport 4-door sedan. In 67-68, Newport was "CE" and Newport Custom was "CL".

The inner half of the fenderwells of a 67-68 Chrysler may be interchangeable with a 65-66, so they may have swapped them during resto and not swapped the fender tags. That's just a guess.
