Nick. THAT IS one Healthy sounding Cam in that 69 Mach 1 Damn! Nick, I use too use drop the rear main cap and use a sneeky pete rope seal remover/installer(chinese fingers) to remove those old rope seals in cars way back when. I STILL have it WINNING!

Nick, I noticed you say " I do my best" regularly. From what I can see, your best IS the best!

Hey Nick, the very first Mopar in our family, was a 1967 Chrysler Newport 383 2 Barrel. Not a convertible, but the exact same color yellow as this 300. Same color black interior, my father owned it many years. It was a column shift with the bench seats in it. Our family has been Die Hard Chrysler ever since

Thanks for sharing a great memory, Craig.

I went to Expo 67 with my family - I was 9! My dad had a 67 Newport and 69 300 coupe. God bless Paul

69 Mach I looks just like mine except I don't have a shaker hood because I have a stroker 427/447 with the Ford dual quad intake and carbs. My rear louvers are original Ford with the hold downs. I think the 69 is the most beautiful of the Mustangs, I was lucky to get mine when in high school. It was a 351 but then I got a deal on the big block stuff and I worked at a speed shop doing engine machining. Almost all my pay checks went into that car, and worth every cent!

t johnson ; This is a 351 windsor as well. Maybe a stroker?

My grandfather had a 66 2 door Polara he bought brand new right around when I was born. During the summers weed go down to the lake house we had out in the country away from the city. I still remember the datshound in the back window on the package tray with the bobbly head that would bob up and down riding down the road,lol. Great times and memories of an age gone by,but thank God for Nick,his crew of family and friends along with enthusiasts like us who love our old beautys and keep them shining and rumbling on down the road, sometimes fast,sometimes slowly enjoying a relaxing cruise,and it's all good, regardless. I grew up in those old luxury barges,land yachts and of the muscle of a great historic age for cars. Amazing guys, almost 100,000 subscribers, wow,congratulations!!!!! We love ya'll too!!!

905. The good old days of cruising. Good memories.

The Mustang is beautiful but would rather have the Chrysler any day. My Grandfather's friend had a 68 New Yorker and we used to drive in it to go fishing often. Always wanted one of my own.

I love driving my '69 Chrysler 300 2dr every time I can, and the 440 just has so much power you would never know it was a luxury car.

The first new car I bought was a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with the 428 Cobra Jet. I was 19. It is crazy to think that you could walk into a Ford dealership in 1969 and drive out with what was essentially a race car right off the lot. If memory serves me, I paid $4,200 dollars for it. Scary fast and fun to drive.

The 69 Mach 1 is one of the most beautiful examples I've ever seen. The engine sounds fantastic, what a ride.

The 69 mach 1, is absolutely awesome. The 67 Chrysler is such a beautiful car. It's like driving around in your livingroom.

The 1967 Chrysler 300 is a beautiful car, very well kept. That is the type of car to take a road trip with. Comfort and elegance, don't get much better than that.

1969 was one of the best years for all the American car companies and it’s the year I was born. Great episode as always!

Oh man that Mach 1 sounds amazing! That 300 is cool too, the tension rods for the hood springs are so cool. The engineering on those older cars was a thing of beauty, true work of art

Rumor had it that Nick was on a beach in Greece drinking Uzo and eating well last week ;), on a well deserved vacation, but you know his soul is in American muscle steel. That Mach 1 is a beauty..as is that Cruiser C300, and all the other cars around the shop. Like a candy store for Real Iron.

God, I miss my 66 300..... Sleeper, Camero killer, 0-60, but then aerodynamics comes into effect..... Bought the car with 58,000 miles from a guy my father knew, the original owner and Dad had all the service records at his shop. The car, running on 92 octane, would break that back wheels loose, as shifted through the gears.... There is nothing stronger than a high compression, 440, with a 727 transmission. Loved that car. Wish I never sold it. Total sleeper with comfort of an old school executive cruiser.

Our 66-300 was the first car I got to steer, sitting on my dad's lap. ☺ He gave me all his tools, and, now I use them on my own 66300 I am trying to bring back to life. 😉

My parents had a '68 Chrysler Newport convertible in the same color. A southern car, no rust, never restored but looked new when sold late 90s for good money.

The yellow 300 looked great. Add a 6 pack of "soda" and a long country rode. Sweet ride.

NICK! Did anyone else catch that look in Nick's eyes when he's getting busy driving those cars?

A great time to be alive and see 2nd and 3rd generation Mustang in the showroom or on the Car Lot on Sunday . Sales had tapered off for Mustangs in 68 with just over 41,000 fastbacks and it was better for ordering one the way you want and in about 4 weeks. The 69 restyle was a success for fastbacks with about 132,000 that included the BOSS versions. I like the fastbacks for 65 , 68 , 69 and 70 ....after that the horse broke a leg and was shot to end up at the LePages glue factory as headlinder paste for insulation strips or the windshields . The BOSS 351 was too late for the 71 body and would have been nice Option in 1970 right above the BOSS 302 .

Huge trunk because a friend helps you move while buddy helps you move a body .

Reminds me of my friend's 2000 WS6 Trans Am. We took the skip shift out for easy driving at slower speeds (manual trans) and I drove it to check it out with him in the passenger seat and his son in the back. Said: "You mind if I get on it a little?" "Go for it". Got on the road near my house and smoked the tires in first, bang shifted to second still spinning the tires, then hit third and eased off to stop at the traffic light 1/4 mile away. Their eyes had glazed over! "THIS is the way this car should drive!" said I. Too bad his (B-with an itch) wife made him sell it before I knew about it or *I* would have bought it!

My dad had a 67 Dodge Monaco Wagon with 440 and every available option. It was built specially for George Love, the president of the Chrysler Board of Directors, to take him by driver to the 67 expo in Montreal from Pittsburgh. My dad picked it up in 1968 from the regional manager of Dodge in Pittsburgh. My dad LOVED that car. Awesome car with tons of power...passed everything but a gas station. My older sisters still talk about that car! I think it may have been an HP 440 car as it was specially built.

the Mustangs were nice, but that 300 was a real classic beauty.

Enjoy your vacation....we will be here....day dreaming of dyno days...

Hey Nick, that new Mustang was cool but the music coming out of the 69 is addictive. You just can't beat the old school sound. Cheers & thanks

Loved the sound of the Mach 1

Nick, just have fun and ENJOY YOUR VACATION sir...you deserve it!!!

Beautiful 300, my grampa only drove Chrysler's , thats why im a mopar man today. Great episode Nick

Nick have a great vacation. Stay safe... Can't wait to see the old school Hemi run.

One of my squadleaders in the Army had a '66 Newport convertible very much (same paint, interior, 383 auto) like the 300 in this video. Crazy cowl shake but a very nice car. We cruised like kings in Arizona back in the day.

Fun story about my brother-in-law who got a '69 Mach I when he graduated high school. The way the story goes, he first test drove a 428. Apparently, as he was getting on a highway on-ramp the salesman told him to punch it. The car came onto the freeway sideways. He ended up with a more sedate 351 Cleveland. Anyways, he drove it for a few years and, after marrying my sister and having a kid on the way, he decided they needed something more practical. So, in the spring of '76, he got rid of the Mustang..........and bought a Pacer. It's been over 40 years and we still make jokes about that. But in the AMC's defense, as homely as it was, it did everything they needed it to do and never left them stranded in over well 200K miles. The biggest reason they got rid of it was that the Kansas City winters had taken their toll.

You brother-in-law's salesman reminds me of the salesman who went along with me when I test drove a 2018 Challenger TA 392 with a stick. He turned off the traction control and it was about 40 degrees with summer tires. The thing went a bit sideways when I caught 2nd gear.

Nice 67 Chrysler...those too were Muscle Cars...Bankers Hot Rod they were known for! I have a 66 and a 68 with a 440 TNT(magnum version) Even the non magnum version would lay rubber down from 20 mph roll and out run 396 Chevelles,390 Mustangs and 1987-1993 Mustang 5.0's!!

That 300 brings back memories of the American land yacht!

In July of 1969 I turned 16 and immediately got my license. 1 1/2 later I was diving a 1969 Mustang 428 CJ. Also I was working at a Mobil station. Life was great I was in heaven in my Mustang. It was a sports roof of course no decals, air or p/s. Oh yeah a 4 spd. Love your show Nick 😁👍

Cool, I have a Daffodil Yellow 1967 Chrysler New Yorker 2dHT and my mother and father visited the Expo 67 from Finland. We used to have a miniature Expo 67 license plate on the dash of our 1966 Rambler American 220 when I was a kid.

I had a 68 Chrysler Newport. that was Factory Special ordered with a 1965 HO/Police big block 383 with 727 auto trans. it was a police car, had all the buttons in the glove box. That ho 383 Big Block power and the 727 trans would shift from 1st to 2nd HARD about 55mph at full throttle. Leaving any Ford and Chevy in your dust.

My first car was a 69 Mach 1. Had it back in 1971.

That 67 300 is beautiful. My parents had a gold 67 New Yorker, 440 with Sure Grip. Mom says it would lay rubber until you let off the gas! Lol. Nick, you gotta come out to the Woodward Dream cruise. There were over 1,000 Mustang's on Mustang Alley! A block over emergency vehicles from the 30's to new. Even an OPP 79 Dodge St. Regis. Pretty rare. They even had drag racing on Woodward!
