Just google and you'll find all information!!!
This is my 1970 Chrysler 300, only picture I have til I see it again in 3 weeks. Little history...I inherited the car from my grandfather Jack Hollon February 23, 2007 (yes this is the 3 year mark) after a tragic event that took place February 14, 2007. It still hits hard everyday...it hits so hard that it took me this long to hardly even wanna look at the car even though I knew I would never get rid of it, let alone want to learn more about the car. I have always been 150% Mopar and always been about trucks. I do know how to work on this car and restore it which one day in the distant future I intend to do. But I don't know anything specific. I know it's a 1970 Chrysler 300 4 door, 440c.i. 4-barrel. I know it has approximately 32,000 original miles (no rollover) and has been garage kept it's entire life, including now. It is so original that 2 of the tires on the car are from out the factory as well as the battery (how it still holds a charge beats me but it starts everytime). I also know that even after sittin for nearly 20 years that it only took a general tune-up, carberater cleaning, and valve cover gasket and it runs perfect (that was 3 years ago) and I also know that now it starts and runs perfectly even though it has been drivien less than 500 total miles in the past 3 years after that tune-up. The car has been in my family since day 1. My dad's great-uncle henry bought it brand new in 1970, he sold it to my great-grandfather, my ganpa inherited it just as I did 3 years ago. It has never seen ONE SINGLE NIGHT outside of the garage, has never been driven in anything but perfectly clear sunny weather. It is in immaculate condition and it won 1st place in a car show about 19 months ago with the factory paint and interior and everything. What I don't know is body type (A, B, C, E, etc.) or any kind of specific information. No offense but I don't wanna know what you think you know, I wanna know what you know. All facts and specifications are greatly appreciated, everything including body type, performance, weight, down to the lug bolt pattern. Thanks

Very nice car and truly a survivor.... This vehicle is a great road car that will continue to give you lots of driving pleasure and great memories. Just make sure you have some $$ for gas, as mileage was not a big concern when these large vehicles were made. My personal opinion about restoration: the less you disturb it the better. Just stay up on the maintenance and keep it wax'd. Great solid car

A quote from the op
"i dont really give a good god damn about anyones thoughts"
Kinda conflicts with your origanal question, as you asked what folks knew about your car. Take it down a notch, there are always gonna be folks that find things hard to believe. Myself I agree with the guy that said the old timer would have renigged the offer had you excepted. No one but you can put a value on this car and it will never be enough cuz it's a family heirloom. I am happy you had a good relationship with your Dad and Grampa. Not all of us had that luck. You have a fine car and what ever happened back 3 years ago is your to hold onto or let go. That is no reason to get snippy here. If you disagree than disagree, but hostile comments are uncalled for. I thought you started out kinda gruff by saying "don't tell me what you think you know". The folks here want to enjoy the hobby and help out. That is all.
You have a real surviver car there and you have a right to be proud of it.
Also I agree to keep it original as long as possible, as the restoration process will only detract from any value it now has.
Take care and enjoy.
