It has 82,000 miles runs and drives great,lots of new parts,New TTI dual exhaust,no rust California car.Yeah it's 38 years old,paint is thin,scratches and dings,the front seats need redone.I have the original wheels and caps along with other spare parts.The price is $4500 OBO. Lots of pictures if interested.Fly in and drive it home.

TRT1954, Ha! where were you when I took it to PA for a summer two years ago ? I was selling a house back there and had it with me.I had a buddy drive it back to Nevada as I drove a truck and trailer.Runs like a top ! I had it for sale back then on here too.Oh well wrong place,wrong time.My plan is to pull the engine and tranny for my old truck and scrap the rest of the car.No love for these in the Mopar world.

You're gonna part it out??? If that is the case I'm interested in a ton of parts. I'm actually kinda interested in the whole car too.
 
Just a thought at the time.We will see what the future brings.
 
nice car, I have to say that one is in really nice shape, cant be many left never mind in this condition.
About 5 years ago I ran across one with 35K miles on it (sat in garage for a long time), I was called to go there and get it running for an estate sale, I put a battery on it hot wired it (key was no where to be found), I have a fuel jug with electric pump on it, and it started up, but was leaking gas and the alternator was locked up so I snipped popped the belt and wrapped some panty hose around the water pump and crank, but no rust on the car at all.

They had me come back for an hour during the auction to start it up.
I stayed to see how much it sold for and it did $2300, I was actually surprised, I thought the car would have been in the 4500 neighborhood because how many didn't get crushed by now...

good luck hopefully you can find someone to save her from you scrapping it.
 
Too bad you need to sell. It is true that there is not a lot of love for these, but there is some. I don't think you will find all the love it deserves in this little corner of the mopar world. I would try listing it on the C-body forum, lots of love over there. C/L would be an easy place to find interest. Beautiful car, I wish I didn't need a new boiler!
 
Naw, the C-bodies already shun and po-pooed it because it was a "B".
Oh well it is what it is.

On another note I should have sold it when a guy wanted it for a demo-derby car !!
 
Sorry for the loss of your brother. Good luck with the sale, it is a beautiful car!!!
 
My thanks to all of you.My brother and I were real close and worked on and built cars together since I was 8 years old,Hell he took me to my first Drag race.And the street racing in the 60's and 70's, man don't get me started. Many, many stories can be told... I posted these pictures in the 62-65 site.He will live on as long as I'm alive. This was his Hemi car.AND his 70 Chevelle LS6 454 450 HP 4 speed. It has not seen the light of day since 1976. It has 1600 miles on it.A day 2 car with all the aftermarket speed parts of the day.After 47 years it needs restored.But he always wanted a HEMI and he got his dream......

And don't get me wrong about selling the 300.I wish I could keep it.What ever I get for it, the money will go to my sister-in-law.She gave me the HEMI car.......
 
Selling mine too. I figured you'd ask more for it. I'm wanting 5K out of mine. I guess I have it priced too high. Good luck with your sale. It's a real beauty.
