1968 Chrysler 300, new to the forum.

[nadocor66]

Hello. New to this forum. When I was young had Challengers, Chargers, Barracudas and one 69' 300 convertible. Have come full circle. have a 68' 300 coupe now. Not the big dollar Mopars these days. Need assistance in locating the best sources for new and used parts. Electrical, body (weatherstriping), mechanical and so on. Located in southeastern PA. Any engine, rear and trans rebuilders? Appreciate any help, input, friendship extended. This is my last car to restore and I hope I have time to enjoy it some. It's a 440, auto, console, disc brake, power bucket seat, AC, AM-FM stereo, pwr trunk, cornering lights, pwr locks, pwr windows, rear defrogger, pwr trunk, road wheels, vinyl top, console vacuum gauge and so on. Deserves to be restored. Apperciate any help, input. Not an expert, just a fan of these great cars. Thank you, Ray

Welcome from east texas! Sounds like you might have a TNT model, vin# will have an L in it. Post pictures! I have a 68 also, non tnt but nice options. You will get much help here with your needs, these guys always come through me when Ive needed it. Mine wasnt running when I got it 3 yrs ago, had to hunt alot of parts, it is a driver now but still have alot to do. You came to the right place!

Appreciate your reply. Was owned by a Navy veteran, originally from TN.

Hi from Chilton, Wi congrats on the 300. As many pix and story how you found it.

Welcome from north central TX! 1968 300s (especially convertibles) are some of Chrysler's best looking cars, to me (although there are lots of others, too!). Yes, the car DOES deserve to be restored.

Welcome to the site. There are many active parts sale and wanted forums here. Just look in the Marketplace forums for the proper forum and place a free ad. It is easier to ask for an item or two at a time so things don't get so confusing. Read and follow the ad rules there. Good luck.

Welcome to the site. Beautiful car. These 300's have the build quality, horsepower and very nice road manners. Always liked the fastback roof lines and window down cruising.

Congrats on getting a great car. check out Craig on this site @mobileparts parts for brakes and suspension needs, he has all nos, or as to quote him “ no chineseium junk”. also Murray B Park at cbodies.com specializes in c bodies. I have also used Detroit Muscle Technologies for various gaskets. There are others on here that seem to get high praise, but I have not personally used. Ask for parts or specific services needed and members will chime in.
Many members are extremely knowlegable and helpful and will steer you in the right direction. Use the search section, many times I have found an answer on a previous post and I didn’t have to create a new one. Good luck, post photos, and updates on your progress.
