I am currently trying to build a web site dedicated to C-body cars and need your input. I'm looking for tech info, magazine articles, pics, links, etc.etc...
I'm also looking for input on what info you would like to see. My goal is to have the best C-body site on the web! Where someone can find the info that could help them finish their project or repair their daily driver. Any info you could supply would much appreciated! Thanks for listening. Thunderhead p.s. Feel free to e-mail me with questions or comments! |

Good
My wife and I have 3 C-bodys. The 68 Chrysler Town-N-Country 9 pass wagon, The 70 Newport conv, everyone here has heard about, and a 77 Newport with a 413 in it. Thats where I got my screen name. Which was also my first Mopar. We have the sefvice manuals for all three C -bodies if that might help a little. I have a bunch of other links for C-bodys, gotta find them though. Hot Rod did a 4 wheel disc conversion on a 70 Sport Fury. I was in shck when I saw that. Hot Rod do an article on a Mopar, yet alone a C-body. I'll look and see if I can find any links. Good luck on the site. I'm very interested in how it will turn out. Bob |

You have my support- My first cars (actually dad's) were a '66 300 and later, a '70 NY'er. I later bought a '72 Monaco for myself- a real sleeper with Dual exhaust & a 400 4bbl. I would include the Sport Fury. Also, there are some great Police Cruisers out there. I just saw an article on collecting these, which included the Polara, Monaco & Fury. I don't recall which issue/mag, but someone out there probably does. If you are interested in the Cop car angle, there should be a club affiliated with your local highway patrol, or at least someone who shows up to law enforcement events with old PD Cruisers. Good luck!

I know you will have my dads support. He has a 67 dodge monaco wagon with a 383 auto, its white with woodgrain and black interior, and it has 4-wheel disc brakes FROM THE FACTORY, thats right 4-wheel discs from the factory in 1967, my grandfather can prove it since he bought the car brand new on Oct. 18, 1966. It also has a special grille that has not been seen on any other c-body. He just finished restoring it. He has also had a 70 new yorker, all black with a 440.

I have a '67 Polara 9-pass wagon, 3rd owner, 383 auto, ps, pb, air, AM, cop caps, and little else in options. It's a slick, dependable, 99% original ride. Holler when you want some pics!

Thanks again guys! I will not be able to do this without your help. It's going to take me awhile to compile all the info and get it online but I think it will be really helpful to C-body guys and gals.

Thanks Goldduster! You know what I'm trying to do! It has been a steep learning curve. I already have some good info and links to add. Still don't have the pics of my Fury yet but everything else seems to be moving along. Keep that info coming! Thanks to all!

There's already 3 sites that I know of and a mailing list as well, but the more the merrier! I have the FSM for the 66 Polara/Monaco line as well as the dealer parts book for all 66 cars if that'll help. Good luck!

Bert, I could really use all the info I can get! LOL! BTW, what are the addresses to these sites? I would really like to check them out! I don't know what these sites have done. I really want to be the #1 place for C-body info and tech. Are you wanting to sell them or could you send me info via e-mail? Let me know, just send me an e-mail. Thanks Bert!

OK, here they are: http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb784194 http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb314056 http://cbody.webhop.org http://www.egroups.com/group/mopar_c_body/
The last site is the one where you can subscribe to a C body mailing list. It's pretty active. I'm not in the market to sell my reference materials, but I'll be happy to provide what information I can from them. |

Bert, I checked them out. I had seen them before, matter of fact I'm putting a link to the "C-body Dry Dock" page on my site. My site is totally different from these sites. I'll keep you posted as the day draws near to unveil my creation. I hope you guys will like it.
