I have a great garage find. My cousin's Father-in-law needed to empty his garage. The last 30 years his '66 Chrysler 300 convertable has been stationary in his 2 car garage.

I have my work cut out for me but it is a very solid and complete car. The body and frame are very sound. Everything is pretty much original on this 62,000 miles car. Now is just needs alot of TLC

Nice car. Even better screen name. What's in primary?

That is a fantastic find.

Nice score and welcome aboard. Be sure to give us a detailed account of your progress.

Thanks for all the nice welcomes. Trust me I will have lots of question. Moving day will be Saturday. I will get it to my shop and get it cleaned up. The real work will start in November. I'm a paint contractor and this is the busiest time of the year.

I ordered my 1966 mechanics manual on CD and a battery. The wait to start is going to kill me. All I have been thinking about getting started.

With that screen name...do you brew your own beer by chance?

Sounds like you're a fellow homebrewer. I will have to admit I don't have anything fermenting right now. My last brew was an IPA.

Yes I do brew but not as much as I would like. Something tells me this new project isn't going to leave me much time to pursue much brewing in the near future.

Yep, our C-bodies and this Forum take up a lot of time. LOL!

Here are some more photos. The first shot is before it was unbaried.


The trunk was very clean the original tire jack instructions still glued to the lid.

The front fenders are solid and no previous body work has been done.

That car was burried. How does anyone let that happen?
