@ayilar did you get the tag???

I am not on FB. I have asked a friend to get it, but if we strike out then I'll need you (or @cuda hunter or @70 Sport Suburban ) to work their magic and get it.

While we wait for the tag, I found the following info on Curbside Classics. Posted January 21, 2024 by the owner Mr. Fred Birdwell:

"I own a 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible with a 440 TNT and automatic transmission !
It was a delete auto with no air conditioning or any other upgrades except for a 8 track tape player !
On the glass back window was written,
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK ON THE HIWAY, THE CHRYSLER 300 LAND SHARK !
Has anyone have any info on this particular auto ?
Would love to learn more about this car !
I was told that the 1970 440 TNT was the last year of the original 300, the convertible for a while and other things.
Any help would be so appreciated !
It is a survivor and mostly all original !
Runs great and looks great !
Thanks Fred from Tennessee !!

I'm actually quite curious how well those wilwood discs are working with the original drum/drum master cylinder. I would have splurged on some new battery cables first, but that's just me.

They probably work fine if you don't need to do a panic stop.

I believe I have a partial FT on this one, it has an E85 on the bottom left corner.

Take a razorblade to that back window and you've completed Job 1.
