Love to see the fender tag on this one.
Buckets were standard on all 68 300's.
Bench seats at that time were still in demand in family cars compared to the sportier buckets.
Chrysler gave the option to substitute buckets for a bench at no extra cost.
This 4dr has all vinyl split bench seat with Newport convertible/Town&Country pattern--which is weird in my books.
Typically the bench seat would be the cloth/vinyl seats from Newport Custom when buckets are deleted.
Hubcaps are 1969 units.

Several months ago he had it listed at 17,000 !
The front bench seat cover is NOT original, and the person who replaced it did not spring for the NOS materials
The valve covers (and color) are the incorrect year
If a TNT - it has the wrong exhaust manifolds
Why touch up the inner fenders, ( AC drier line over sprayed) but not the "patina"
This same car was listed on CS two years ago with DONK wheels - a missing radiator and top end of the motor and the seller had a cardboard cut out of Forest Gump in the back seat!!
The asking price 2 years was 7,500.....which is what I would be willing to pay for it now - it its current state !

I love there's still a small community of guys that know these Slab Chryslers
inside and out. My most favorite of all the C's.
