Yay! My first small project car in the US!

[Turbo Beast]

Picked up a 1969 Chrysler 300 with a 440 mag, came with a new carb but I'm pretty sure i can get the old one to work to make it completely original.

This car is a one owner car, a guy inherited it from his grandfather and decided to sell it. It has 85223 miles on it and it runs like a champ!

This thread wouldn't be complete without pictures:










EDIT: and it doesn't leak oil

Beautiful car. Nice find.

I actually am looking for these wheels for it:



Its a lot of fun driving it around, i just keep forgetting about the crazy brakes on it, had my teeth on the steering wheel twice now!

Great find! ^^and those wheels are pretty sex.

haha thats not a project car thats a retirment fund lol . very cool car though would def rock it .i think you will find the value of those cars increasing in the future due to people moving onto them and trucks to turn into muscle cars.

That bitch needs hydraulics haaha.

Very nice find though. Any plans besides fixing up whats needed?

If I remember correctly, '68 vintage heads are a bit healthier, and are the heads used in the musclecar magnums.

The nice thing is '68 and earlier heads are all the same, from the lo-po stuff through to the stronger engines.

Find an old 440 in a station wagon and lay hands on the heads - they'll make you a bit happier.

Nice score, Colin!! Those old land yachts are kinda cool in their own sense...The wheels you have picked out for it should give it a cool old school cruiser look!
