Super clean 73 Chrysler Town & Country wagon. 79,000 miles, runs & drives excellent. Western car, extremely clean. Power windows, power steering, power brakes, AC front and rear, power rear window. Great running 440 & 727 trans. Rebuilt transmission. Many new parts; brake hoses, battery, tires, master cylinder, cap, rotor, plugs and wires, & N.O.S. rear tailgate window motor are the things I've done. The previous owner replaced the rear brakes, belts, hoses, the radiator looks like it's been re-cored with a 3 row core, carb was professionally rebuilt, new KYB shocks, new nice & quiet exhaust.
I just serviced the complete AC system, it blows nice & cold. It has R12 in it. The rear AC unit works as well.

When I got the car, the woodgrain on the sides was pretty faded, so I stripped it off & did the custom metalflake job you see. I also flaked out the roof in a root beer flake. Very cool. I think the paint is mostly original, except for the metalflake parts. There's no evidence of a repaint. I redid the lower part of the car due to stone chips, it looked pretty bad when I got it. There was no rust. I was able to DA it down, fill the chips & shoot it. (I wish it was always that easy)

Interior is in great shape, there's a little fading here & there, but no rips in the seats or headliner, dash is not cracked. The carpet is a little worn in the driver's footwell. This is a nine passenger wagon.

The car also has factory fender skirts, I didn't like the way they looked. They are included with car


There are a few issues that need addressing, the horns don't work, I'm going to order a relay & see if that fixes it. The radio only works on AM, the cruise control doesn't work, and the clock in the dash doesn't work. The washer bottle is cracked, but I have it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the rear two-way tailgate to work. It only swings out, not down.


Thanks for looking.

6000 obo. Possible partial trade for shop stuff; bead roller, tubing bender, etc.

I can't believe you're parting ways with the old gal John. She's beautiful!

Yeah, I know. It's a cool car. My problem is I don't really want to keep it in my garage, because then I can't paint or throw sparks, and it's too nice to sit outside. And if it sits in my garage all winter I'm sure I'll do something stupid to it.
 
Now that I put a trans in it I've been driving it to work every day. I didn't trust the one I pulled out, when I get some spare time I'm going to tear it down & see what the deal was with it.
 
The pictures don't really do this car justice. ULTIMATE family cruiser!! Picture you hauling all the neighbor kids out to the cider mill...
 
Ehh, I probably could've gotten a little more if I held out, but I still made some money on it and I don't have to store it this winter. It's going to the Netherlands.
