Did ma mopar put frames on their station wagons in 1968? I have an interest in a 68 chrysler station wagon and I would like to know what to look for on the rear frame parts etc.

I need the console piece that attaches to the back of the console and faces the back seat. It is a moulded piece that fastens on and finishes the rear of the console. I believe the 64 consoles are the same. Mine is rotted and badly cracked. Color is unimportant as long as it is good and not...
Where I live in Northern BC it is increasingly difficult to find good high octane fuel. So I am considering putting a Snow Performance water/methanol injection kit on my 65 Coronet. It is 10.5.1 compression and I sometimes get some detonation. The timing is turned back and the mileage and...
In my 65 Coronet I have a 68 440HP motor. Bored 40 over, stock crank, iron heads, cammed, eddy performer manifold, headers and 3 inch exhaust. I purchased the motor mount kit from Schumacker as i did not like the way the previous owner had shoehorned the engine into the car. I purchased the...
I live in the Northen part of BC Canada. I have to drive my car a long ways to get to any meets, shows or gatherings. My car is a 65 Coronet with a 68 HP 440 Engine. The compression is the stock 10:1. Car should run on 94 plus octane. 91 is around here a little bit, but 94 is hard to find...
My 65 Coronet
Set up as follows
440 RB
I think stock small block torsion bars
73 New yorker discs and front brakes( I am assuming that the spindles were used too, as it was this way when I bought it. I just replaced everthing with new parts. I ordered a 65 kit and everything fit, but I found...

Drove her for the first time on Monday. Just had to see if she can lay down the rubber. No Problem. I am just tickled. Just have to finish interior now and do some fine tuning.
Enjoy
Thumbs up!!!!
Since I have taken those shots, I have installed hood, grill and rest of front end emblems...
Well here she is as of yesterday. Pretty much all of the aluminum is pitted badly so I decided to straighten, sand and paint the grill and bezels until I can afford to buy a better grill. Actually I carried the satin black them to the hood, grill, rocker panel moulding centers, spears etc. and...
So on the weekend we were running our 68 Moncaco demo car and I am in the pits talking to other drivers and there is a guy who is running this 1970 chrysler something or other, I ask him if he knows of any Sure grip diffs as he has alot of mopars. He says sure and hands me one out of the back of...

My 68 HP 440 has what I believe to be new stock springs, w damper springs in it. It appears to have also had a valve job ( I say appears because I do not know what work was done to it before I bought it but it appears to have been all rebuilt)
My question is:
I am putting a comp cam thumper...
The torque converter behind my 68 440 looks brand new. Only numbers on it are a large HD and then the numbers 5298. Any idea what it is? what the stall might be? Would like to use it if possible, just want to know what it is so I can decide if the cam will work with it.
cheers

My 65 Coronet came with a rebuilt 440 engine. It is a 68HP engine. It has been bored 30 over, has a balanced steel crank, new pistons etc. I took it apart to paint it and check it over as I wanted to make sure it was rebuilt as the seller was not 100 percent certain, it was just what he was...
Need a good driver quality rear bumper. Mine is bent bad and I will pay lots more to have it straightened and chromed. Would like something that looks decent to run so I can get the car on the road. Would prefer 440 bumper without holes for bumperettes as mine are really ratched and I am not...
Here is a pic of my newly installed hood with scoop. My body guy made the scoop fully functional and moulded it down. He also put in some flat bar and fiberglassed it in so it wont flex. He then spent 8 hours wet sanding and polishing her. I can start puttin on stainless and such now. Gettin...
I know I saw a thread on here with pics of how somebody did the conversion on a 65 Coronet. Anybody got an idiots guide(for me LOL) with measurements etc. on how to do this. I have a sacrificial grill and good headlight bezels and I want to do this to my Coronet. Any info would be much...
Anyone have any luck in removing or lessening scratches in windshield glass?
My Coronet front windshield is perfect except for some windshield wiper scratches. I really want to reuse it if I can. Any body use anything that a dYI er can do?
cheers
