Awesome thanks! Your 300 is #72 out of the 110 VINs I have so far! What options doe sit have? T-tops, Sun/Moon Roof? Tilt wheel etc....

 

[nhaydenhome]

Pretty basic car, power windows, power locks, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, maybe electric trunk release was an option?

IMO, every '79 300 owner needs a copy of this handbook by Dale Burkhardt and John Veatch:

Any idea where I can get one?

I think Dale might be on FBBO from time-to-time? Try placing a WTB ad and maybe he will see it.

He is listed as a Consultant on the following website:

There's no stripes either! I'll try to contact the dealer and see if they will give me the VIN

All Canadian 300’s were not painted Red in fact very few were. Very rare car in Red. I have had 3 Canadian 300’s all EW1. There was a red version for sale last year in Quebec would have loved to own that one but was gone in an instant. What I am curious to know is how many Canadian 300’s came with the Sunroof M51?

All 300s left the factory without t-tops or moonroofs, they were modified after production. Most, if not all, Canadian 300s were appearance packages with no "Hi-Performance" parts such as heavy duty suspension etc. They are still 300s and I add them to my registry!

I can remember going into Detroit in 1981 the Jefferson plant in the yard there were 7 79 300s all still had the window stickers on them they were unsold new cars had stock black rims and tires not the goodyears that came on the car I think the boys in the hood got them happens all the time in detroit

I added a few more VINs to the list brining the number to 118 with 35 confirmed crushed or beyond repair and in a salvage yard.

Here's what I have so far, some I found on a registry that was started about 10 years ago but seems to have been abandoned. I have since added about 15 more VINs to the list! It's my first "working draft" which I will make more presentable later on.
