I've had a few leaks in places to be expected for a 40 plus year old car, and I've rebuilt the transmission. Again, after 150,000 miles and 40 plus years, one would expect that.
Other than that, this car has had no problems for me. I don't drive it a lot due to gas prices, but would if I could.
Some front end bushings have started to squeak. But my body started to squeak after 40 years too, and I'm built to last longer than a 67 Chrysler.
This car never fails to turn heads. Rarely can I stop at a red light without a thumbs up or a "what year is it" question. A few times on the freeway people have pulled up along side, dropped back and pulled up on the other side to see if it looks as good all the way around. Even won a couple awards at local car shows.
I upgraded the 2 barrel to a 4 because the size of this car just needed more than a 2.
Interior and paint are not original.
This car has had several thousand in restoration work, but not professional for the expensive car shows, and she isn't perfect. Just darn fun to drive.

I looked at your pics on line. Awesome car!! See my story under 68 Newport. The 66-68 Chryslers are great cars. Keep on Rollin'!!!
