I am starting to shop for a rotisserie to hang my 68 Coronet on. While getting overwhelmed with all the different manufacturers and accessory packages that I don't even know what they are used for, it occurred to me to check and see if anyone on here has one they want to sell. I am located in...
I know it sounds like I am asking a question and trying to answer it at the same time. Trust me, that is not my intention, I appreciate all of the information being posted up here. That said, wish there were more original 68 Coronet R/T guys on here that could shed light on what is actually in...
This is what I am starting to believe. Mainly because the Coronet 440 I parted out didn't have one and the piece of trim that runs across the top of the face of the dash looks like it would conflict with the dash cluster bezel at the top. Looking at photos on the net, I don't see where there...
I actually find it harder to understand the listing from your manual. Where does the description for the part number 2822 880 end? If it is just the top two lines then it looks as if that could be the part number for the bezel for my car. Although I don't understand what "Cluster, V, R-L...
This is the manual I have...
Bingo. Never noticed it but it is the Canadian manual.
It does carry over to the next page, but there is nothing that matches my car on that page.
Thanks for that information. In my Canadian parts manual, if I read this correctly, my car would be in the W1W2...
Both of my 68 Coronets are missing a dash bezel. My R/T's dash had been previously molested by the p.o. so that came as no surprise. The 440 model, 4 door parts car however looked like it hadn't been messed with, and it too had no bezel. While looking through the 68 Parts Catalogue. I found...
Don't hold back on my account. I still haven't even confirmed if my car should have that piece or not. Thanks for posting it though. Gives me another thing to research.
I have a dumb question for you Louie. Did all 68 Coronet's have that bezel? I ask because my R/T doesn't, but it was butchered in the past by a previous owner. A 68 4 door 440 model that I just stripped didn't have it either. Here is what mine looks like now.
If my car should have it...
From my research, 68 500 could have had wood grain, but not R/T, again, my googling doesn't mean much as far as accuracy. On my 68 the ash tray is padded, the slide down type with roller bearings in parallel rails. Mine was an AC car so it has the center vent and the corner vents, which helps...
After doing my homework I now realize that these are practically non-existant. Just my luck. If anyone knows anyone who might have some stashed, or even NOS ones, I would be grateful for the information.
There are a bunch on ebay but I have no way of knowing if they are any good. Example: 1968 CHRYSLER NEWPORT 300 CONVERTIBLE NEW YORKER 8-TRACK/AM RADIO SERVICE MANUAL | eBay
I have to agree with pnora, based on my memory of what a 66 Coronet dash looked like. That said, here are a couple of pictures of the stock 68 standard instrument cluster...
and, just for fun, the front of the Dakota Digital cluster...
and the back...
I mainly added the Dakota Digital...
I have a stock 68 cluster laying on my trunk lid in my shop if you want some measurements. Can't imagine it would be worth shipping to you if the basic measurements kill the idea.
