Let’s See Some Pictures of those 1975-1979 B Bodies

[RR Fan Dan]

I don’t have one, but I admire them and I am always looking.

1979 Chrysler 300 (mine)

Some people prefer the earlier (pre-1978) Cordoba model years with the round headlights. The B engine (400 cid) was an option.

The '77-'78 Fury & Monaco A38 package cars with a 440 sometimes show up for sale. Fairly nice looking car for the era.

Very nice. What engine? Anymore pictures? I was 15 when that car came around. I think that’s why I am found of the late 70 models, because I remember them so well and really after 1979 the cars really went to ****.

The 79 Chrysler 300 was equipped with a 360 ci engine, TQ 4-barrel, and dual exhaust. I had one years ago, one of the BEST cars I've ever owned.

The '79 300 came with the E58 360-4V and true dual exhaust (dual exhaust pipes, dual cat converters, and dual tailpipes). High(er) stall torque converter from factory. It's a non-lockup converter. I believe the car was factory rated at 195 horsepower.

Only recent pictures I have are below. It is a heavy car, but the rear axle ratio of 3.21:1 helps it "motivate". Handles great with the HD suspension.

I have it on dollies so I can move it around more easily.

So that was the only engine option?

Nice

Note:

The 300 for 1979 was not a separate model. It is a Cordoba 2 door specialty hardtop and the 300 was an option package.

That being said (its a Cordoba), the marketing people called it a 1979 Chrysler 300.

Makes more sense now. I thought it was a separate model. I learned something.

Ditto!

Not mine.

Was once from your neck of the woods.

my buddy bought an ex cop car similar to the above; we were 15, maybe 16...... it had a spot light and a pa speaker..... he got into a bit of trouble with it

Very Heavy. I bet 100 lbs or more of just the sound deaden insulation in them.

So that was the only engine option?

Yes They run really good. Most remove the "Lean Burn" of that era.
I had 1.

 

[Darter6]

I replaced the cats (if legal in your area) with a complete TTI exhaust. No headers just stock manifolds
It also made a big difference.

Let’s see some more 75-79 b-bodies.

Someone here is bound to be an owner of a 1975 Plymouth roadrunner. I don't know anything about engine or transmission options.

Here's one that didn't sell in 2016 on BAT. It came equipped with a 360-2V.

1975 Plymouth Road Runner

VIN: RM21K5G145215

I don't recall seeing one with a blacked out hood.

Aww the beloved Road Fury. One of a kind classic.
