1969 Town & Country Wagon - $6000 (Hacienda Heights)

not too shabby

For 6 Grand, maybe HE could blow or wash that engine clean. Looks dusty. I know it's a lot to ask, but for 6 Grand, it should look "spiffy". And I keep watching TV shows that say Mopar didn't put "the big engines" in their wagons, and all these wagons with 440's keep showing up! What's THAT all about? Just more experts not knowing what they're talking about?.. And it's a floaterboat.

 

For those map-challenged, Hacienda Heights is a Los Angeles area suburb, about 25 miles east of downtown L.A. on the 60 (Pomona) freeway.

 

Yes, next to La Puente Hills and City of Industry. Who says Chrysler Bros didn't put the 440's in the big wagons?

 

1969 would be either 383 or 440....
2:7, 2:9,, or a 3:2 rear gear...
Three speed trans only (727) in the full size..
However could be either a three disc or four disc front clutch pack depending on motor
and intended usage( ie: tow pack)....

6000$ seems a tad high for this one..
Could use interior pics, better descript, and a good cleaning...

If yer gonna ask top dollar then at least clean it up some and make me believe it is worth it....

 

I like this T&C, bet it is a dry mostly rust-free example. I would love to see the interior, too.
These can look fantastic with the 300 grille, like moparjohn's beautiful '69.

Very nice car. The lack of A/C is a little disappointing however. (At least it appears to be lacking A/C). (Hopefully I stated that correctly, I am paranoid now).

 

LOL! Air needs conditioned.

Sharp eyes, Tony! I didn't even notice! I'll just have to find somewhere else to spend that $6000 I don't have!

David

 

Yeah, that's it... needs air conditioned. lol.

Yeah, I tend to see if these cars posted have A/C... first thing... it is just a "peeve" of mine. LOL.

 

Yeah, I usually look for power windows, then A/C. I'm so used to cars in Texas having air, that I sometimes take for granted that most any deluxe car from the '70's will just have it. Even a vehicle from LA I would think would need it from time to time...a huge wagon with a dark interior would be a real drag to get into after sitting in the sun.

David

 

I wonder just what options it does have. The ad does not mention power windows, locks, seat, cruise, or anything else. Most of what we take for granted now was optional back then, even on the big, top of the range models.

 

Welll,, looks like it DID have a/c..
But now NO a/c and NO heat...
Looks like it used to have cruise but now does not...

A plus is,,, it does have aftermarket trans cooler....

 

If the A/C was there it's still a possability. If not? Wellll, 5 yearz in Austin taught me that you go NO WHERE without A/C in Tejas. Dave, I even stopped going to Pate when the family sold the homested and they moved that swap meet into the oval on the NW side of the "Fort". If they'd ah put one shade tree in the infield just think of the group hug they coulda had
