Looks very nice!
This was the first year that Chrysler brought back a wood-paneled station wagon.

 

My Dad was a faithful Chrysler Town and Country man.
Lot's of great memories getting yelled at while my brother and I exchanged punches and insults in the way back!

 

Another great looking wagon that's to far away. Maybe I need to move farther west.

 

never heard of this 383 HP , '383' as seller says but looks like a amazing wagon considering it's age, one pic showing the door to fender jam and door panel C/W what you can see of under the drivers door looks pretty darn good and solid. Even the engine bay has a clean yet old original look to it.

 

Beautiful wagon!

 

Took a look at the '68 Chrysler brochure.

A 2-barrel 383 was standard this year on the T&C. Optional was a 4-barrel 383, w/ dual exhausts, and of course the 440.

 

Unusually nice condition!

 

First year for Chrysler Division. Dodge brought back the woodgrainer in '65.

Standard motor in '68 for Newports, Newport Customs, and T&Cs was a regular fuel 383 2V; optional was a premium fuel 383 4V (as well as various flavors of the 440). I assume the seller is referring to the latter 383.

I always had the impression that the '65 - '68 Mopar wagons were "engineers cars", although the stylists did manage to make them pretty handsome -- if not stunningly beautiful -- automobiles. One of the touches that impresses me is the panel that folds down to cover the gap between the interior load floor and the lowered tailgate. The instrument panel on the '65 - '66 was more unusual and interesting, but for me the woodgrain on the '68 would be the feature that tips the scales.
