Picked up a new Slab

[69Chargerboy]

Hello everyone my name is John from the Cleveland area of Ohio. This is my first posting of my new C Body. I'm a big B Body fan, I already have a 68 Coronet (under resto) 69 Charger and a 73 Charger. I really wasn't a huge fan of C Bodies, but when I had the opportunity to get this one I grabbed it up. I think its pretty cool, needs a few things to get running right. It's a 68 Chrysler 300 with numbers matching drivetrain. 74K on the ticker. This car is solid, has a couple small spots in the rear lower quarters that need attention. Maybe I'll give it some body and paint work in a few years. I have to find some parts in the meantime, I just want to roll it the way it is....:headbang:

Welcome! Looks like a good solid '68. Top looks pretty good considering the overall patina.

welcome aboard. you'll love the ride and the power of that 300. I've got a 66 Charger as well 70 Coronet project. I can't leave out my 65 Sport Fury 440-4spd.

Thank you to all for the warm welcome. I can tell how much nicer the 300 is to drive compared to my 69 Charger. I upgraded the 69 chassis and suspension, its a lot stiffer than stock. Its fun to drive around town and short trips, but I would rather cruise the 300, its comfy.

Dig it! I had a 68 Fury about 11 years ago, great car, lots of fun. Looking forward to seeing more of this as you progress.

You do indeed have a fast top and welcome to the club! That refers to the long, sloping, halfway fastback-ish rear window. Great style. I have a '68 Fury with the same roofline:
