Hello For C Bodies Only! I'm new to the group and very excited to be here! I've found my lost tribe!!

I've always been a big fan of vintage Mopar Muscle in general... but, mostly have experience with the A & B Body models. In more recent times, I've found myself admiring and gravitating toward C Body cars. In order to appease my Mopar addiction and curiosities about C cars... the natural order was to:

1. Snatch up a couple of my favorite C Bodies available for sale in my area (Washington State)
- '68 Chrysler Newport
- '68 Plymouth Fury Wagon
- '74 Dodge W200 Adventurer Sport (Not too sure?? Does this count as C Body?)
2. Join this group!

I've already enjoyed looking at pics of the sweet rides found here, and reading in the forums for tips/tricks and technical info. I look forward to sharing, learning and tapping into the immense collective knowledge of this group! I'd say that should keep me busy for a great long while.

Attached are couple pics of my C Bodies... I will undoubtedly be asking a lot of (dumb) questions as I endeavor to resurrect these ol' girls.

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome, it doesn't look like the Newport needs much.

Very cool stable. Technically speaking C bodies are 1965 through 1978 Chryslers, Dodge 880, Polara and Monaco and Plymouth Fury and VIPs.

It gets fuzy with the Furys and Monacos from 1975 on because they downsized the Fury and Monaco to B bodies so 75 and up its Gran Fury and Royal Monaco for C Bodies

We Also include all Full size cars from Forward Look through "transition" years, 63 and 64.

At heart were all car guys and respect all the classic iron and some modern stuff too
 
Holy ****, I forgot to include the Imperials. I'm a little fuzzy on that as some Imps of the C body Era were D bodies and I have to confess, I'm not sure which year's.
 
Welcome!
The Newport is actually a Spring Special with the teo tone interior.
Most were fastops but there ae a few 4 door hardtops . Overall, not many were nade and even fewer survive today.
Your wagon I seen your posts on FB.
Love wagos..
Cheers
 
That is quite an intro. Great looking cars (and truck). I have a 68 300 convertible. I am a big fan of the slabbies. Welcome!
