New Purchase - 1968 Chrysler Town and Country

Well, I recently purchased a '68 Town and Country. It is a solid, original car. It was purchased new on December 13, 1967, by Mr. Edward B. Robinson at Bill Binko Chrysler Plymouth in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Mr. Robinson paid $6,051.06. I have the original title, sales agreement, and dealer invoice. It has a 383ci engine.

It has the following options:

- vinyl split bench seat
- air conditioning
- power seat L 6-way (power driver seat)
- radio AM-FM
- power windows
- tailgate washer (yes it is a window washer for the tailgate window - rare
option)
- luggage rack
- right head rest (passenger head rest)
- tinted glass
- left remote mirror
- door moldings
- deluxe lap belts
- undercoat
- 8.85x14 white side wall tires

It also has a reclining passenger seat.

I have the original hubcaps. However, at some point, someone changed out the original 14 inch wheels for 15 inch wheels. It has the original jack in the spare tire compartment.

I bought it in December but, because of the polar vortex, I was unable to do anything with it until today. I polished a small section of each bumper. They will polish out well.

The very end of the hood has some holes due to rust. I think it was dripped on over the years.

I haven't decided if I will keep it or sell it. Right now, I am leaning toward selling it. If anyone has an interest, send me a message.

Here is a link to the photos.

Check them out and let me know what you think. This is my first Mopar, so I would appreciate any advice or information from you Mopar lovers. Thanks in advance.

 

What a rare and WONDERFUL wagon you have there! That, to me, is a keeper. I also love the 15 inch wheels on her. The 14s always did look undersized on these cars. I thought that as a kid the first time I saw them. Just get some nice Chrysler 15 inch wheel covers, and you're good to go.

 

Thanks Mike!

Sweet!!!
Great looking wagon with unusual options; great find.

 

Love this body style! Nice looking wagon for sure.

 

Great looking car! I agree, I like the 15 wheels rather than the 14s

 

You sly dog, keeping this wagon a secret from us. She looks like a keeper to me, in spite of a few minor flaws.

Great looking wagon. Chrome Magnums, that's what you need. The 68 T&C wagons look great with the factory chrome Magnum rims.
(sorry the pics are backwards. I scanned in the negatives upside down. Doh!)




Your wagon would look great with those wheels.

 

That is awesome and rare wagon!!!!! I agree, it look great with those wheels.

 

Congrats on the new wagon - very cool!

 

I love it!!!!

 

Love it! I just bought a 66!
