Don't know why this hasn't sold yet. This is the third or fourth time on here.
 
That keeps the brake booster from blowing out in case of a backfire, basically. I forget what that valve is called, though.
Agree but it looks like someone duct taped a fuel filter to the booster instead of getting a proper brake booster check valve.
 
Definitely a check valve.

This car is one pretty SOB, though! I'm a sucker for yellow cars. This, being a hardtop, helps a bunch. Lots of like here!

Only real drawbacks, visually, appear to be:
The lack of functioning air (compressor, brackets, and who knows what else?),
the torn headliner,
the seam rip in the rear bottom seat cushion,
the unknown condition of the DS front seat and the tear in the PS front seat,
and the Grand Canyon-sized cracks in the dash pad.

The drawback of being a desert car.

For the money, this seems like a good buy. Lifelong CA-registered, looking at the low-numbered blue/yellow tag; of which that series began issue in mid-1969 for cars.

I agree this car has quite a bit of appeal.
I'm wondering if the master cylinder has a bad leak and the filter is there to insure the engine only burns filtered brake fluid
 
I very seriously considered buying DH43H9D160652 when it was initially listed by its previous owner. I found that the friend helping that owner was honest and thought that the asking price was reasonable, given how solid the car is and the rare 383-4 original engine. I passed as I bought a 1970 300 TNT 'vert instead.

The car is now being flipped on FB in Cerritos, CA, and the flipper is asking $19.5k for it -- with not much (if any) work done. If that is today's market price level, then C-body owners are all rich :realcrazy:

From the ad: "If you don’t like my price, then keep looking. You aren’t obligated to buy it. And if it doesn’t sell quickly, price will only go up." Right, I'm sure that's what one learns in Econ 101: if the demand is too low/not there, then you should jack up the price to increase demand. :rolleyes:

Am i missing something? What makes this a $19,000 car? You can buy 1969 - 1970 Chrysler Newports in a lot better shape for a lot less.
