Oh man is that one cherry looking 300, I like your choice of wheels too. One question, what is that at the base of your windshield mounted to the center of the cowl. Thanks for sharing.

Is that cruise control under the hood near MC?

No that's the auto headlight sensor.
Is there any option that car doesn’t have? I bet it has two data tags.

Thanks for offering your help.
Top items on the needs list are a gas tank and filler neck, also needs some partial floor pans.
Let me know if you have anything of use.

Hi Scott. I notice a weird white line at the top of the driver's door....is this a water line? Hopefully not.
Rest assured these fine gents on this site know their C-Body cars, and are ever helpful to us newbies. They have been invaluable to me and my '67 Newport.

Hey Richard
The white line is the clear coat peeling off all the way around the top of the car. I have had some luck with the motor, it's been run a few short times. It has driven in and out of the shop once. Yes I too have gotten a tremendous amount of help from this group, great guys.

Well probably as expected it's been one issue after another needing fixin but it could be worse I suppose. Currently battling the cooling system, radiator repaired and replaced some freeze plugs. This week I'll finish bolting up the exhaust manifolds and testing out the cooling system. Maybe I can get back on the brakes and fix the trans line leak. I can't wait for the first cruise.

Yes it is cruise control. It looks like the version on my father's 71 Monaco. My 66 had a mechanical unit with no vacuum lines. It was a cause of a lawsuit against Chrysler for cars accelerating out of control in the 60's. I replaced mine with an electronic unit from Dakota Digital for that reason.
Rear Speaker...lighter would be in the center drawer lower dash area...switch is original to car. Had the same one in my 68 300
Search tune radio has these round knobs. Thumb wheels were on standard radio. Had this in my '68.
