Haven't done anything else to it, just collecting parts. Got a NOS set of pistons (with pins and clips) still in original Mopar box and and NOS head gasket. The goal is to use as many original Mopar parts as possible.

One quick search of eBay found the exact same picture, framed (with a more vintage frame) and sold for $75 so I guess we were not as far off as you thought. If you think it is worth more than that then put a price on it and try to sell it. This is a buy/sell page, not appraisals. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WALTER-P-CHRYSLER-LARGE-PICTURE-IN-FRAME-OLD-/131601878852?hash=item1ea4154f44%3Ag%3A71UAAOSw3ydVm8hy&nma=true&si=iWHffv8RrmbxyYxbe%252BixCJcpRdA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

That was a dumb thing to steal. Not that I am saying people should steal anything but of all the things in that whole swap meet he took what is probably the easiest to trace. Criminals really are idiots. Good luck finding them. And to the thief, may you have a long life and only one car... a Cadillac Cimarron.

Reliability usually has more to do with the owner than the car itself. Any old car is going to need routine maintenance done to keep it running. Points adjust, valve adjust, brake adjust then of course fluid changes and chassis lubrication. Honestly I would say to go with the Civic for a few years until you are done with school. You need to concentrate on school and not repairs, upgrades and so on. Take this time to start saving up and researching what would be best for you. When you are done with school sell the Civic and buy the car of your dreams plus something like a 94 Civic to have as a backup. "Fast" can be misleading when talking about old cars. For instance a 65 Mustang with a 289 did 0-60 in about 9 seconds (probably less if you buy one with a high mileage engine). A 2005 Civic does 0-60 in about 8.5 seconds. Guys remember old cars being faster than they actually were. They were fast then but most minivans now will beat a 60s-70s stock muscle car (not the big block cars). To make them truly fast by modern standards they need some upgrading which means big bucks. Of course we all love the style, sound and culture of old cars but having one as a daily driver can be challenging. Say you wake up for school and the car won't start. You spend an hour troubleshooting it and find out the distributor cap is cracked. Chances are your local parts store won't have it so you will have to wait until the next day to fix it. Delivery to the store will be around noon the next day and by the time you actually get the car running again you have gone almost 2 days without a car.

I cam from Rochester NY, only about 4.5 hours away. Hit the museum this morning the headed home. I am not a big car show guy so I didn't want to stay for it. I prefer auctions so if I fall in love with so.ething I have a chance to buy it. Same reason I don't go to strip clubs, haha. I agree about the parking. I understand having campers and RVs parked in the vendor area and most of those were behind the vendors items but then you would have space after space of modern cars/trucks parked. No organization of parking makes it look pretty sloppy. Also they need to be better about enforcing rules. I was under the impression no bicycles or gas power gold carts were allowed but I sure saw a lot. Also pets. I literally saw a few older gentlemen carrying armful of parts that tripped on little bitty dogs being walked by owners not paying attention that the leash was a trip hazard. Like any event that large it can't be perfect but if a few small things get fixed every year it will continue to be a great resource for years to come.

Are people allowed to test drive the cars in the corral or do they have to make arrangements to drive them later? Seemed really crowded in there with people.

What a overwhelming place to walk around. Just when you think you got it down, "I am just going to walk one side of the row then down the other" you get to the end and it opens up into another parking lot of like 1000 vendors. i walked the whole area and I guarantee I missed many vendors just because you get a bit lost. Everyone is extremely courteous and willing to explain their car or parts. The crowd doesn't seem like a crowd at all. I never had to wait in line to see something or work my way through shoulder to shoulder people. Never had to wait in line for the bathrooms but the food lines did get pretty long. By far the most common thing for sale were signs. If you ever get the feeling signs are rare then just come here, they are EVERYWHERE. Lots of people selling but I hardly saw anyone buying them. Next most common thing is Model A and T parts but that makes sense. Surprisingly a ton of Packard parts. I swear every other hubcap I saw was Packard. What was the most rare item there, well anything I was looking for obviously :-). Luckily I was on the lookout for Desoto grill and bumpers so I didn't have to stop and dig through every pile. I could slowly walk by and see if they had one or not. That doesn't mean I didn't get sucked into many booths to fawn over some of the amazing automobilia that was there. I ended up with a nice set of bumper overriders for about 25% off what they are on eBay (Not a smoking deal but there is something to be said for being able to hold something in your hand instead of looking at a screen). Got a NOS head gasket in the original package. My goal is to rebuild my engine using as many NOS parts as possible. Got some nice 1941 maps (NY and Maine since that is where my wife if from). Lots of other little bits to enjoy. I doubt I will make it a yearly event just because it is during the week but I would love to come back every 2 or 3 years. It really is a must see for car guys.

No offense and maybe the older copies are worth a lot but there were more than a few vendors at Hershey giving away boxes of AACA mags dating back to the 80's. Some boxes probably had 60 mags in them. That was today so even free they were still people not taking them. I actually took 6 or so of the newer ones but didn't want to drag the whole box around.

I am looking for some engine parts for my 41 (bearings, rings, gaskets). Got some stuff at Hershey but looking for a few others things. If you have a list that would be great.

Just added some more pics form today including chassis.

I have never had anyone ask for a title history on an old car. If buying anything modern it is a no brainer but for classic cars most people know that any accident damage or salvage history probably won't show up anyway. I would be prepared to run the report but now until he is standing in front of you with the cash. If it is that important to him then send him the VIN and let him run it himself. They are only like $10-25. If you have a clear title then no one can take it from you.

Took the car out today to find some good photo locations. Also got it on a lift yesterday to get some chassis pics. I have more I can send but added the important ones in original post. You can see how clean the rust free the bottom of the body it. Frame rails are great too. Original undercoating still covering most metal and still has original fabric between the leaf springs. Plenty of surface rust but it all scrapes off with a fingernail, nothing serious.

The museum and this item share a name only by chance. The museum is recreation working homestead hence the name "country museum".

I live in Rochester and Genesee is still a popular beer. The brewery is on the Genesee river. The Cream Ale even though it sounds gross is actually pretty good. It is becoming popular with younger generation, hipsters I guess. I don't have any use for the script but it sure is nice. Good luck with it.

The hurricane in the Bahamas scares me. Some of the forecasts have it dumping a ton of rain on the region next week. If we all bring rain coats and umbrellas it will for sure be sunny :-)

Bump. Willing to entertain trade offers full or partial.

I have had some interesting trade offers but nothing yet that has made me pull the trigger so car is still for sale. If not sold before next Wed I will be driving it from Rochester, NY to Hershey and putting it in the car corral if the weather is nice. Listening to all cash offers or trade/partial trades

I have listed my beautiful 67 in the main buy/sell forum http://forums.aaca.org/topic/263378-1967-chrysler-300-2dr-fastback/

See I learn something everyday. I have never heard the term "fast top" before. Doesn't quite have the same cool factor as "fastback" but I like it. Can't edit the post now but I will remember that for future use. Thanks

Are you going to Hershey by chance? If so I would be interested in it. Probably not worth having it shipped to NY but if I could pick it up at Hershey I would take it. Too cool to pass up.

Mine is $37 per night and I have access to the whole house and kitchen. Kind of like staying in a hotel where you have your room but have access to the rest of what the hotel offers. When I go somewhere with the family I prefer to rent a whole house so I don't worry about the kids bothering the owners. There are some really neat rentals if you look around the country. Airstream trailers, tiny house trailers, tree houses. There is even one of those converted 747s that is mounted on a pole that spins in the wind.
