1976 Chrysler Town & Country

Again the wheels detract, but ditch them and the decals and this is pretty nice.

I have seen worse wheels on a wagon, what I don't care for is the Mag Wheels & White wall tire combo. Never Liked it.

Description says it has Power Locks, I don't see them. Also says its a 3-seat wagon, if so you would think they would show the 3rd seat in the ad.

It is a nice looking example

 

Power locks were activated by a solenoid on the driver and passenger door lock plunger. Lock/unlock by pushing down or pulling up the lock plunger, identified by the words "Power Lock". Wheels can easily be corrected with a nice set of Mopar Road Wheels.

 

That's a nice one! Agreed on the wheels tho. Looks ridiculous.

 

Does it look like the woodgrain's been replaced? Wasn't the original wg darker than this, or is my monitor a little off on the color?

I agree about the Chrysler Road Wheels. I've seen that combo on a T&C before. Steel wheels and original wheel covers will work fine, too. And they'll cost less and be easier to clean.

The 440 TNT (350 gross hp in wagons) motor was long gone by '76. The 440 used in '76 would have been a low compression, smog motor of somewhere near 200 net hp.

I don't know about $14.5K, though. Seems pretty high for a '74-'77. It does appear to be in exceptional condition, however.

 

Original wood grain looks like ti would have been darker. Notice, also, the partially blacked out grille.

 

That car is too red and the grain pattern is a little fine for this wagon. I'm trying to avoid making that mistake on mine. Both of my 77's have the vertical bars between the wider horizontal boxes blacked out but none of the egg crates inside the boxes. Maybe these folks thought it should be black 'cause that car looks too dark in the grill.
