67 Coronet, 68 Barracuda, 68 Charger, 68 Cougar GT-E

Well, I'm in northern Virginia, near Washington, DC. Yes, we get snow, and the roads are heavily salted in the winter time. The rust showing, in the photo, was the only rust on the car during the time I owned it. I bought it from the original owner in Maryland. The wagon had no rust as it was an...

In the mid 70's, I bought my first car for $425. It was a 67 Belvedere II convertible with a 318. Ten years later, I bought a 64 Ford Country Sedan station wagon for $300 just to haul canoes around on. It had a 352 under the hood.

When I first built my garage, I spent alot of time trying to figure out what coating would look good and be durable enough to last. I couldn't find anything I felt I could afford that would be practical. In the end, I decided to leave the concrete floor untreated. As much as the garage gets...

Those are lenses for the 67 Coronet 500 and RT only.

Tail light lens and bezel is unique to the wagons. I've been watching E-bay for a while. You can usually find every year Belvedere wagon tail lights except 67. Just hoping that nothing bad ever happens to mine.

I will never forget the time I was sitting at a traffic light, in my 68 Formula S Barracuda, in Berkley Springs, West Virginia. I was on my way home from the Mopar Nationals. A distinguished looking older gentleman was pumping gas into his Range Rover at a nearby gas station. He called over to...

My buddy who convinced his wife that buying a classic car would be a father-daughter project they could bond over.

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Everywhere I checked only had the hose for the big block with 26" radiator.

Looks like the only upper hose anyone has for a big block is for the 26" radiator. Got one from Rock Auto and it not gonna work. That one has the inlet on the passenger side of the radiator. In 67-68, the 22" radiator had the inlet on the drivers side. I then figured I would ask my local parts...

So in '24, Chrysler was a product of Maxwell, and in the summer of '25 Maxwell became a product of Chrysler (and then Maxwell was axed). But, I really think the introduction of the 1924 Chrysler line still counts as the 100 year anniversary. Walter P. was pretty much already in control by then...

The convertible back seats are the same (except for upholstery) on all 68-70 B body Plymouth and Dodge convertibles. Its possible that a 66-67 B body convertible back seat MIGHT also fit. Hopefully you have the painted metal trim that goes across the top rear of the back seat that has the...

Why is the hundred year celebration in 2025? I thought 2024 would be the 100 year anniversary of the first Chrysler cars.

Can't really blame them. Tightening of govt. regulations are making it impossible to do profitably. In order for it to work, they would need to be selling a whole lot more Fiat econoboxes to help offset the sales of the Challengers and Chargers everyone wants. They've only made it this far by...

Fauquier County Virginia may not be all that funny by itself, but when the county name is used in a business name...
