That black fender tag I posted that's a FC7 car is from up there too. He had it for sale several different times but is trying to get what he paid for it in '05.

I watched it go thru on Speedtv.com, it stalled in the mid 30's and was about to hammer down when it just took off and climed to the mid 50's in a matter of seconds. It looked GREAT under the lights.

I missed it, and they don't have it up on the speedtv site yet. What did the commentators have to say about it? Were they surprised that it went for so much?

I remember it was a 4 speed, manual steering, air conditioning, non-ralley gauges, EK2 with a black interior and rear stripe. The grille that came with it in the trunk was argent, had the remnants of 340 emblems on the hood, and an 11-1969 build. JH23H0B

The grill on a Feb 19th built a66 car I picked up has that grill type. Not an expert on paint, but if someone repainted that grill they did and unbelieveable job back in the late 70's. Bob

Found this for sale..A bit of a Frankenstien (72-up fenders,71 tailpanel) but seller claims to be an "actual" 340 auto convertible.. I sent an Email to verify if it had the A66 code on the tag--if it still has one. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=1...v4yUAwMGeLIF5E* '68 Newport Custom Barge on a Budget!!

Paul's convert is the coolest ragtop and is original. I seen it when he forst brought it back. The hood decals are original 3M reflective in the engine size 340. The four barrel letters were red with black outlines like a pot metal emblem. Chrysler did not have part numbers for all their decals. I worked at Chrysler Dealers in the mid 70's in parts. I used to buy all the nos parts I could back then. I had a LIL Red Express when the were still on the lot and I wanted the decal on the top of the air cleaner lid. Guess what no # part number in the book. I called Hamtramck parts Identifier system.I went thru top parts book guys who put the parts books together No Record of the decal and did not know what I was talking about. So no mopar was not by the book. I have seen the decals on other cars years ago. Nobody would have had these made back then to sell. Who would have done a 340 car. These would have been too expensive to make. I have owned an all original California 340 FC7 340 auto A66 convert with Same color stripe as Paul's. It had great options.I am trying to buy it back. The others were FJ5 Sublime cars built early at the LA Plant. It was in Michigan two years ago. They all had Silver grilles. All cars were original unmolested cars. Chrysler was the most loosest controlled Car Co. Getting back to the LIL Red Lid. You had to order the chrome lid and it came without the sticker. I will try to find some pics of those cars. I still have the FC7 Ragtop Plate that reads 340 Vert. 5784222-70Chall340SubLftFr4t.jpg (102 downloads)

I think he at least worked on it for the lady? that owned it. In '98 or so I ran into someone here on Moparts that owned that car from Michagan. I think the first person in Michagan to own it. Maybe you? Might have been a molding package car.

Dartman440 pro stock Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,411 Southern Michigan	Hi AutoX. Yes the car came from the LA area. She worked for a movie studio as a execs secretary.They wanted to use this car for a lot of things there but she would never let them because they would scratch up cars mounting the cameras and such or run them hard. Julius never owned it. She lived in Sherman Oaks. Yes I brought it to Mich in 98' Sold it to guy who had to have it more than me. I bought it back a year and a half later. Sold it again. Been trying to buy it back. It was all original unrestored. I am looking for pics right now to post. Dean

I never new that for 70 there was a special package for the 340 that was dressed not quite like an R/T! Very neat. Also amazes me that they offered most of the stuff avail for the R/T but used the standard dash! Weird! Keep the stories coming cause I just love this thread...
