The final fix for my transmission was a rebuild. I believe the root cause was a broken sprague.

Rob is my brother in law and he doesn't like selling and dealing with buyers. I personally feel he was selling himself short by advertising it so cheap. If you are truly interested in the car feel free to contact me , I will deal with Rob but the car will not sell for less than $4,000.00. If by...

The car has power steering, power brakes, auto trans, a/c, power windows, power top. I know because I took three days to dig this out of a shed a couple of years ago; it sat there since the late 70's. The underside of this car is rot free, even the brake lines came loose and had a shiny finish...

I stopped by this car again yesterday, the fender tag is missing. There a couple small holes in the inner fender wells. The rockers and quarters have had tin repairs held in with pop rivits and smoothed over with filler (looks like old work). The cross piece that holds the torision bar ends has...

Thanks. I travel (driving) a fair bit with work in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Wisconsin, I've put 36,000 miles on my work car in the last 9 months. To break up the trip I typically will stop and take pictures of the old cars and trucks I see along side...

$4,500.00 is the asking price. This car is only about 20 minutes away from my place, if interested I can be your eyes and send pictures

This is not my car, I seen it for sale on thee side of the road and though someone here would be interest. Seller said it was recently removed from long term storage. 318 auto Interior smells horrible with mice leavings , front seats are mid 90s Mustang buckets. I have the sellers...

It an evaporative cooler (swamp cooler). You put water in the container which wets a filter and the incoming air gets cooled by evaporation.

The journey to putting this car back on the road has been a somewhat difficult one with a few detours. I took the car to a local cruise in and back home without any problems which marks the first time it has made a round trip without limping back home.

Updates on the cars: The 67 300 convertible is back in the shed it came from and is available. The 1949 wayfarer roadster is available The 1966 conv. has been slow but my brother in law has the interior all cleaned up, repaired the radio and stuck window motors. The engine had a bent...

I dropped the trans pan and looked at the detent ball and rooster comb...it did appear to be just a little bit off. I set the cable and had all the buttons pushed several times and all of them now seem to stop in the middle of the detents. A filter couldn't be found but what was on the car was...

I have a couple more questions. I am having trouble finding the transmission at the local part houses. Does anyone have a part number and brand name for a 1962 727 filter? Does the torque converter have a plug?

Thanks for your advise...The next time I get over to my friends place to work on the car I will change the fluid/filter and check the cable adjustment. I post the outcome. Regards,Tad

I know this isn't a B platform vehicle but I am hoping there is someone with 727 knowledge that will help me. Last fall I removed a 1962 Chrysler 300 from a shed where it had been sitting since 1978 the car it now runs, drives and stops on it's own but the transmission has a problem. If you are...

The interior is cleaning up well, the black tar like coating on everthing seems to be coming off, it's unfortunite that the drivers bucket has a blown out side bulster. The rotted carpet was removed, the floor looks to be in great shape especially for a convertible.
