I would be all over that if it were close. Then I would be all over destroying those hub caps.

 

If it's 'as described', that's a dang good deal. And yes, turn those wheel covers into Frisbees......

 

Is there a member close enough to take a look at this for me? I'm looking for a 68 T&C to put a 300 front clip on. Odd that this one has no wood grain. I'd like to see a picture of the rear to make sure it's not a 67 with a 68 front end.

 

they would make better cheese graters

 

For that money, it looks like a real deal.

 

It's got side markers on the rear, but I'm not seeing any on the front fenders. Side markers were required in '68. For this T&C, they would be fairly small and round, with a mostly chrome bezel, down low on the fender.

 

Actually would be a SQUARE on rear center of quarter
and SQUARE on side of front bumper ....

 

Xenon is correct. 1968 Chrysler front marker lights were in the front bumper. Rear marker light is visible in the rear quarter. Also, 68's had the T&C script on the front fender vs. 67 on the rear quarter. Tailights also indicate a 68. By all accounts this appears to be a '68 - although rare as woodgrain was standard on the 68 T&C.

 

I must have been thinking of the Dodge Polara.......

 

I don't know if woodgrain delete was an option in '68? If not, then this was probably originally a woodgrain wagon with the woodgrain removed and the car repainted.

That's not necessarily a problem, although if you wanted to restore it with the woodgrain, you'd need the surround moldings. The photo is too small for me to tell for sure, but it looks like the moldings might have been removed and the holes filled in prior to repainting.

 

Actually KK, all the Chrysler products (Dodge/Plymouth) in 1968 did use
round side markers with exception to the full size Chryslers which were square ,, with
exception to the 300 which used a round one on the rear that has red/white/blue bezel...

 

That's my dilemma here. I do want the wood grain so if this one has all the holes filled and the trim gone it isn't worth anything to me.

 

I have to question what issue can't we see in the pictures. The price has already dropped $700 on a vehicle that is, by all accounts, quite competitively priced.

 

A picture of the passenger side would be nice. If you blow up the pic you can see there is damage to the passenger front corner. It may be as minor as it looks but with selective pics from the seller you do have to wonder?
