First time she's bout out of that garage in 30 years... Looks like the air cleaner was not factory. Looks good though.I'm definitely gonna leave it on there. Has rusty quarters and some rust in the trunk... Looks like it was painted back in the day. Pretty solid otherwise. Doors close like new!! Gonna start on her this winter. We have 1 other car to finish first. Motor is tight. Gonna soak the crap out of the pistons and hopefully shell break free. He said the timing chain went out right after he had the heads redone... Hmm. What are your thoughts? Thanks!!

Glad to see her home, that Drivers quarter looks pretty nasty have you inspected the car for more rust? how is the front/Rear frame look?
 
Sweet glad you got it home. Always nice to see another '66 300 on the site.
 
Looks like the leaf springs are shot and the mounting box on the rear drivers side is rusty! The front sub is rusty on the back drivers side around the torsion bar. Gonna have to remove the front clip for sure to fix that. The floors are surprisingly solid!! The rear quarters also had bondo around them too so a cheap fix job was done at some point.
 
She's gonna need some work in the rear... Amazingly the skirts are pretty much rust free.
 
She's beautiful.... There's an acre of hood and an acre of trunk.... What a long beast that one is......awesome.
 
My favorite Chrysler.
 
I'm not sure if that's the original shade. Vin says bright red was the original but someone repainted it.... Not sure what I'm gonna do yet. Vinyl top is cracked around the edges too...
 
I love the red with the white top. Very classey. I vote for orginal especially when it is one of my favorite combinations.
 
Glad you got it home and good luck on the engine.

There is a dark green one for sale not too far from here.

Havent had a chance to go see it in person.
