My 70 300 TNT Convertible

RIP said AMS Obsolete which means Frank's old place.
SMS is obviously something completely different. I also presumed because RIP added "Obsolete " he was being specific, not a typo.

Isn't this a *****?!? Just received a photo from Washington County, MD celebrating our anniversary:

Thirty-eight in a twenty-five zone. . . Hell, this car idles faster than twenty-five.

Jersey OF all places years ago deemed traffic cameras unconstitutional. You have to face your accuser.

I got one of those from Maryland a few years ago. My wife was visiting her son, who was near Baltimore at the time (now he's in Centreville) and had her younger son with her... He was driving...

No cameras that I know of around here, but go 250 miles downstate to NYC and they have them.

Maryland loves those damn things. PA does not use them regular, but have been in construction zones

So that's what... Every other mile on Rt 81?

Crap, I was just in Maryland visiting and stopped by Rip‘s place this past weekend. How much over the speed limit do you have to go to trigger one of those things?

You don't strike me as the kind to speed even a little.

Local roads, no, but 30 in a 25 is not out of the question.

Recording the time to the hundredth of a second seems rather excessive.

I noticed that too.

The power of my Toyota can get away from me sometimes. I got it up to 80 once.

Is this the same one you bought?
NOT MINE - 1970 chrysler 300 convertable

Nope, the one you linked to has cornering lights.

@straightjob -- would you post the fender tag of your gorgeous red 300 in this thread that acts a the registry of the 1970 C-body 'verts? I know of two red 300s that would fit your casr:

--> it could be CM27U0C102170 (the reason why I am guessing as much, is because the outside matches including the antenna and the lack or RHS mirror). If so, that car was once owned by @antonellomopar

--> or, more likely, it could be this T-code that was listed in AZ a few months ago.

@Ripinator -- glad you are enjoying the TNT. Happy (belated) anniversary!

Have been working on the '70 for a few days. Installed a NOS points / condenser set (thanks @halifaxhops) and new Autolite AP-85 plugs. The plugs I pulled out were at least twenty-five years old and No. 5 was totally fouled.

In addition to the above, I also installed my newly restored headrests. They were redone by AMS Obsolete. They did a fantastic job; I think they are better than new. Here are a few photos:

Wow I’ll take a picture of the tag thanks

I looked at this pic on your thread and those look like bench seat headrests to me.

Thanks now I have to find the real ones

Check with AMS Obsolete. They may have good cores they can restore for you.

The head rests look like the ones on the optional cloth and vinyl buckets, but those were not available in convertibles. My original interior had one larger one like that on the driver seat. I seem to remember some discussion here about having two different headrests on some early builds.
