Congratulations!  You may check that paint code.  I may be mistaken but I don't believe B5 was offered until 69.  QQ1 was real close and offered in 68.  Either way both great colors and a fantastic find.

Yep, '68's  had QQ1, Bright Metallic Blue. Congrats on the find and buy! I too own one of the 259, originally QQ1, black vinyl top. They are great cars. Post lots of pics, and take lots of before pics if you are going to tear it down; You can't beat history.   :2thumbs:

Thanks for the comments & encouragement everyone. I do need it, this car needs some work for sure.
I looked at the tag & you guys are right, it's QQ1.
A little update, I took the seats out and am processing the floors with a good old wire brush/sandpaper.
The floors are rusty but I want to throw some paint on them to at least preserve whats left.
Here's a pic of the 4 sp hump & floors.

It's pretty hacked up.





Wow that is kinda hacked up.  Is that a hurst shifter?  My Inland has a different connection plate.

Nice Charger  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Mine is an auto but like yours its a 383 H code from the factory. I'm also going with the Matte Black look. Below is a random internet pic that I saved for inspiration of what I want my car to look like.  And like yours its not an R/T so no harm done on any mods.

Again nice score and like you said if you don't have the money to restore it for now then just go out there and drive it and have fun.  :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Haha.  Exactly.  

I think the wheels of terror might be a good second car.

Joking aside.   Very cool car at a great price.  Congrats!!

A little update on the car-
Nothing too exciting, the car has been sitting more then I would like but I've slowly been making some improvements.
I've been gathering some parts for it. Found a original 4 sp hump at the nats this year.
Also found a sweet set of 15x8.5 mopar pattern GL/vector looking wheels.
I have a console setup ready for it.
Recently I found a set of aluminum slots locally at a great price.
Fronts-15x7,Rears-15x8.5. Wrapped in new micky thompson tires with less then 100 miles on them.
The rear tires are big et street/slick radials which are pretty cool and give the car a great look.
Some updated pics.

LOVE the slots. I got a hold of some rim acid from the kenworth dealer and sprayed it twice on mine. tires off of course. smooth as glass and shines like chrome. a lot of truck dealers will do it for you.

Yea the slots need some cleaning/polishing done. They should clean up good.
I just love the look of them, definitely one of my favorite mopar wheels.

Nothing spruces up a car better than a nice set of wheels and tires. I hope you don't have to do to much winter driving in those Mickys!
