I met David at the Victory Field car show in Indianapolis. I parked my 65 Polara next to his 69 Three Hundred. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable. I am so excited that you featured his car Lou. It is a beautiful machine.
@@johnnyduplantis all the Mopar engines from that era had it. The 440, the 383, the 340 and the 426 Hemi as well, there just wasn't as many Hemis around.
Yea, me too. Once I saw the title, and that it was another L. Costabile video. My clicking finger is still sore even after the video ended. LOL. Another terrific video featuring another beautiful Chrysler 300. Thanks Lou.
THAT is an outstanding ‘69 MOPAR, and extra points for it being a convertible! The whole of the car works so well within itself: Hidden headlights, body-wide taillights, ‘300’ spelled out, dual exhaust, interior features, the rallye wheels. What’s not to like or even love, about this cruiser? Thanks Lou & David for a beautiful showing!

What a sweet land yacht! Other than Imperials, the 69 300 is the Holy Grail of the fuselage era, in my opinion. That exhaust note is pure gold! Great video Lou, thanks for the smiles!
Yep and was on all Mopar cars, they sound like sewing machine motors and are the only starters I've ever heard like em. I'm building a modern Challenger and doesn't sound anything like that, so they obviously do not use them anymore and is a whole different setup now
@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 Back in the day, Chrysler used a gear reduction starter, while GM and Ford used a higher torque lower speed direct bendix drive.
Fantastic. You can just tell that David is a passionate car guy, and his 300 'vert looks great! You know you have a big car when they can spell out "Three Hundred" down the side. Thanks, Lou!
Lovely car. I remember in 1968 my friend ,Duane, and I went to a new car show at the convention center in Cincinnati Ohio. I remember sitting in a 4 door version of a '69 Chrysler New Yorker. Awesome car. That car seemed so nice. It was! Oh so long ago. Thanks Lou for posting videos of the fine vintage American cars which bring back great memories to my 67 year old mind. Thanks again!!!

The “fuselage “ look with w on w and buckets. 👏I thought the owner was going to say, “It takes me 15 minutes to fill up the tank because the tank was so big.”😆...The hideaways sounded like garage doors. 😅Ask the owner if the lady in the brochure came with the car?✌️

David's answer about the dual exhaust was a bit confusing. The standard 300 (and New Yorker) engine was a slightly milder 440 with single exhaust... the TNT was the performance option and included the duals. The same engine under different names, as David said, was standard in Mopar intermediate muscle cars, the Plymouth GTX and Dodge R/Ts, rated at 375 HP SAE gross. A 300 convertible with the TNT and factory air... REALLY rare, and this one is super clean and complete. Kudos to David... great find and beautifully detailed!
@@johnstromsky7223 If the details really matter to you, check the VIN to see if you really have a factory TNT. Could be a base 440 with duals added later and the TNT air cleaner from a boneyard car. Or, don't sweat it, just enjoy a rare old mopar!
@@billyjoejimbob56 I'm still learning 40yrs and never owned a Mopar it's my first one I've learned a lot from Nick's Garage on RUclips I matched the vin to the block original. My car has everything original even the stock H-pipe exhaust also has the twin air intake on the air breather, my grandfather bought it new and only drove it to car shows and put it back in the garage. I found all of the dealers papers and maintenance records. I just enjoy it on the weekends and love it ! Now I am searching for more old cars to buy and enjoy 😉
I think the 300's were the bridge between luxury and performance. What a beautiful car! I love everything about these 300's from the sound to the style to the performance!...Stunning. GREAT VIDEO LOU

Envy, envy. I bought a ‘69 Newport convertible same color in 2012 also. Mine is restored but I wish mine had the buckets, console, and power windows. I guess I have the poor man’s version. The 383 two barrel has more than enough power though. This was the last year of the 10-1 compression ratio before pollution and fuel efficiency standards reduced the horsepower.

Hi Lou.. I already had my drivers license when gas was still 27 cents a gallon! A friend of our family bragged that his Chrysler got 5 miles to the gallon...back then it was like saying "my car is more powerful and luxurious than yours!"
Great 'land yaght'. I really like these old Chryslers. Had a 73 Newport in my twenties. Funny how the sport version of these cars dwarfs todays sport themed cars. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Hi Lou! I'm a big fan of your channel! I love your work! This video reminds me of my late uncle's 1970 Chrysler 300 sedan. I have a great fondness for this car. I got my learn's permit & my uncle would give me driving practice in the 300! My other uncle had a Datsun 210 wagon & was teaching me mainly. The experience I got was being at home & very comfortable with size. I love large cars & drive a large vehicle. I hope one day, I will own a vintage 300! Stay safe Lou & thank you.
Hi Terrance, Happy to read you enjoying the episodes with me :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles car and driving practice too...nice! My pleasure sharing with you, I'll stay safe, you're welcome, and you stay safe too, Lou
I once had the same model 69 convertible with the matching number 440 tnt. It was a project car. Ran strong. I put new floors, trunk, and was doing quarters when I was forced to sell it. Buyer took the 440 tnt and abandoned the car. He scrapped a matching number 440 tnt convertible just for a 440 core. Broke my heart.

Hey there, another "fuselage" C-body Chrysler Corporation vehicle! I am loving old Chryslers now better than ever. It's high time these big Chryslers are getting more love. Especially after that '69 Dodge Polara was covered here awhile back! C-BODIES FOREVER! (1/22/2021)

Beautiful car, close body gaps, that interior, and the sound of that 440, quiet yet a nice Rumble in the rear end. Rather odd that no clock came standard as you can see the spot is there for it on the dashboard. Nice owner too, Thank you Lou!!✌👍
Hi Paul, Happy to read you enjoy the sounds from this car :-) Glad to read you learned something. I'm learning from the Care Takers all the time and I find that to be so much fun, Lou
That's a beautiful 300! It's always interesting to see how people optioned their cars when they ordered them... For example, it looks like whoever bought this one new, checked damn near every box on the order form... Except for a clock! Otherwise, it looks like it's got everything else you could get... Six way driver's seat, A/C, power you name it, AND even the trunk lid pulldown. They either forgot to check the box for "clock", or just didn't care what time it was to begin with!

My absolute favorite Chrysler is the 69 and 70 300 convertibles. The paint code on that should've been EW1. The TNT engine should read E86 on the fender tag, also called the U code mill. With that option, you got the 3.23 rear gear set, HD high upshift 727, HD suspension with bigger frt anti sway bar, and bigger alt and battery. Std T code 440 cars did not come with those parts as std. That steering wheel is borrowed from the C body line as std. There was also a wood grain wheel, and a GM sourced tilt/telescope wheel that had a 300 emblem in it, a 2 spoke rim blow horn unit. Console equipped C cars are very rare.
Wow that is one beautiful unit I'm top 2 bottom very nice restoration. Very cool and refreshing colored automobile I like it very much was very surprised with all the options it didn't have a clock in the dash it was a blank. That's really strange with all the other stuff there was no clock what's the top notch items they were ordered on that car and the basic steering wheel was another item that really shocked me. Just one beautiful unit I love those headlights when they work on electric the lot better than vacuum. Love the style of that 300 in 69 and 70 both. Just one beautiful unit that was love the engine sound too and all the Chrome and the striping on the sides. White Interiors a tough one in the with the top down but it sure is cool in the hot days. He has one beautiful unit! Thanks for sharing Lou I appreciated it I enjoyed this very much plus his trunk and treats were pretty cool!
Hi Steve, Happy to read you enjoy this "beautiful unit" :-) Glad to read the details you notice. My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

That 300 should have been the car driven by Hunter S Thompson and his Attorney, through the Nevada Desert, of his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...... Just say'n, it fits better than the Chevy they drove. LOL!!!! I love these 300's more than any GM or Ford produced Land Yacht of their time. The factory, Carter, Carb, 440 and 383 with OEM exhaust manifolds, have a distinct sound. It takes me back to being a kid, just hearing it. Thanks Lou!

@@loucostabile Hello Lou, thanks for your quick reply. Maybe you could get some feedback from David? The whole interior design looks like it's from the 1970 model if you look at the round buttons on the seats. In 1969 they were square as you can see in the brochure. Very strange... Did the upholster of the previous owner made a misstake? The wheels are alsmost certain from the 1970 model... The exterior and dash is certainly the 1969 model.

Notice in that brochure in the trunk the order the models are listed--that's the order from highest to lowest. New Yorker was top of the line and then 300 and then Newport. So this was a mid-line model, but their top convertible. It had a very cheap looking instrument panel. The restoration was great. I always thought those 1969 300s looked like a very large Mercedes, especially with the color keyed hubcaps.

Hi, Lou! This is exactly the kind of car that would appeal to Donald Trump...YUUUUUUUUUUGE! And with the TNT, I think AC/DC would agree it's dynamite! Love the grille with the hidden headlights! And you're right, "THREE HUNDRED" does look cool all spelled out on the fender, but apparently, Lynn Townsend, Chrysler Corporation's CEO at the time, was really in a tizzy about it because doing it in individual letters was expensive (I'm guessing too labor intensive to install them), and he threatened to fire whoever was responsible! He never did find out, but they didn't try that again on the 1970 300! Actually, the New Yorker was the top of the line. It was the most luxury-oriented Chrysler, competing with cars like the Buick Electra 225 and Olds 98, whereas the 300 was described as the "sports-bred" series and competed more with the Buick Wildcat. This has easily become one of my favorite installments of "My Car Story", and if I had this car I'd be having the time of my life too. (I can hear Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes now!) Kudos to you and David for another wonderful presentation!

The standard 300 (and New Yorker) engine was a slightly milder 440 with single exhaust... the TNT was the performance option and included the duals. The same engine under different names, as David said, was standard in Mopar intermediate muscle cars, the Plymouth GTX and Dodge R/Ts, rated at 375 HP SAE gross. A 300 convertible with the TNT and factory air... REALLY rare, and this one is super clean and complete. Kudos to David... great find and beautifully detailed!
Odd I have a TNT 440 dual exhaust system loaded a/c windows, seats and a clock also 2d-ht with a column shift. I guess several options?
@@johnstromsky7223 If the details really matter to you, check the VIN to see if you really have a factory TNT. Could be a base 440 with duals added later and the TNT air cleaner from a boneyard car. Or, don't sweat it, just enjoy a rare old mopar!
@@billyjoejimbob56 I'm still learning 40yrs and never owned a Mopar it's my first one I've learned a lot from Nick's Garage on RUclips I matched the vin to the block original. My car has everything original even the stock H-pipe exhaust also has the twin air intake on the air breather, my grandfather bought it new and only drove it to car shows and put it back in the garage. I found all of the dealers papers and maintenance records. I just enjoy it on the weekends and love it ! Now I am searching for more old cars to buy and enjoy 😉
I think the 300's were the bridge between luxury and performance.
What a beautiful car!
I love everything about these 300's from the sound to the style to the performance!...Stunning.
GREAT VIDEO LOU

Envy, envy. I bought a ‘69 Newport convertible same color in 2012 also. Mine is restored but I wish mine had the buckets, console, and power windows. I guess I have the poor man’s version. The 383 two barrel has more than enough power though. This was the last year of the 10-1 compression ratio before pollution and fuel efficiency standards reduced the horsepower.

The experience I got was being at home & very comfortable with size. I love large cars & drive a large vehicle. I hope one day, I will own a vintage 300! Stay safe Lou & thank you.

I once had the same model 69 convertible with the matching number 440 tnt. It was a project car. Ran strong. I put new floors, trunk, and was doing quarters when I was forced to sell it. Buyer took the 440 tnt and abandoned the car. He scrapped a matching number 440 tnt convertible just for a 440 core. Broke my heart.
Mine was maroon color

That's a beautiful 300!
It's always interesting to see how people optioned their cars when they ordered them...
For example, it looks like whoever bought this one new, checked damn near every box on the order form... Except for a clock!
Otherwise, it looks like it's got everything else you could get... Six way driver's seat, A/C, power you name it, AND even the trunk lid pulldown.
They either forgot to check the box for "clock", or just didn't care what time it was to begin with!

My absolute favorite Chrysler is the 69 and 70 300 convertibles. The paint code on that should've been EW1. The TNT engine should read E86 on the fender tag, also called the U code mill. With that option, you got the 3.23 rear gear set, HD high upshift 727, HD suspension with bigger frt anti sway bar, and bigger alt and battery. Std T code 440 cars did not come with those parts as std. That steering wheel is borrowed from the C body line as std. There was also a wood grain wheel, and a GM sourced tilt/telescope wheel that had a 300 emblem in it, a 2 spoke rim blow horn unit. Console equipped C cars are very rare.
Hi Adam, Happy to read this is an "absolute favorite Chrysler" :-) Lou
Wow that is one beautiful unit I'm top 2 bottom very nice restoration. Very cool and refreshing colored automobile I like it very much was very surprised with all the options it didn't have a clock in the dash it was a blank. That's really strange with all the other stuff there was no clock what's the top notch items they were ordered on that car and the basic steering wheel was another item that really shocked me. Just one beautiful unit I love those headlights when they work on electric the lot better than vacuum. Love the style of that 300 in 69 and 70 both. Just one beautiful unit that was love the engine sound too and all the Chrome and the striping on the sides. White Interiors a tough one in the with the top down but it sure is cool in the hot days. He has one beautiful unit! Thanks for sharing Lou I appreciated it I enjoyed this very much plus his trunk and treats were pretty cool!

That 300 should have been the car driven by Hunter S Thompson and his Attorney, through the Nevada Desert, of his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...... Just say'n, it fits better than the Chevy they drove. LOL!!!! I love these 300's more than any GM or Ford produced Land Yacht of their time. The factory, Carter, Carb, 440 and 383 with OEM exhaust manifolds, have a distinct sound. It takes me back to being a kid, just hearing it. Thanks Lou!

@@loucostabile Hello Lou, thanks for your quick reply. Maybe you could get some feedback from David? The whole interior design looks like it's from the 1970 model if you look at the round buttons on the seats. In 1969 they were square as you can see in the brochure. Very strange... Did the upholster of the previous owner made a misstake? The wheels are alsmost certain from the 1970 model... The exterior and dash is certainly the 1969 model.
What a beauty. When the top goes down, the fun ($) goes up!

Built better Than Anything Chrysler Builds Today
Hi Derek, NICE! Lou
Notice in that brochure in the trunk the order the models are listed--that's the order from highest to lowest. New Yorker was top of the line and then 300 and then Newport. So this was a mid-line model, but their top convertible. It had a very cheap looking instrument panel. The restoration was great. I always thought those 1969 300s looked like a very large Mercedes, especially with the color keyed hubcaps.

I love these boats, but, it's odd that that high line model didn't come with a clock.
Hi Bob, You're right, interesting no clock in this one. Happy to read you love the "boats" :-) All aboard! Lou
My 69, 300 2dr ht has a clock? Guess it was optional.
Hi, Lou! This is exactly the kind of car that would appeal to Donald Trump...YUUUUUUUUUUGE! And with the TNT, I think AC/DC would agree it's dynamite! Love the grille with the hidden headlights! And you're right, "THREE HUNDRED" does look cool all spelled out on the fender, but apparently, Lynn Townsend, Chrysler Corporation's CEO at the time, was really in a tizzy about it because doing it in individual letters was expensive (I'm guessing too labor intensive to install them), and he threatened to fire whoever was responsible! He never did find out, but they didn't try that again on the 1970 300!
Actually, the New Yorker was the top of the line. It was the most luxury-oriented Chrysler, competing with cars like the Buick Electra 225 and Olds 98, whereas the 300 was described as the "sports-bred" series and competed more with the Buick Wildcat.
This has easily become one of my favorite installments of "My Car Story", and if I had this car I'd be having the time of my life too. (I can hear Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes now!) Kudos to you and David for another wonderful presentation!
