1979 Chrysler 300 Limited Edition review from North America
"A lot of bang for my buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cruise went out at 121000, easy fix.
Front seats were shot, covers did the job.
Reverse is weak on tranny.
General comments?
I bought this car for $600 after it was sitting for 3 years. Drove it home the next day. This car goes like crazy with the V8 and handles exceptionally well for such a large car. Has all power features and creature comforts as well. Has the nice muscley lines like a Mopar should.
