Sweet 76 chrysler town & country

Man that is a LARGE CAR. Those are a lot less common than the Ford and GM wagons of the same vintage. Neat find.

 

I wouldn't mind one of these, but I would have to park it in the driveway. I could fit it in the garage, with about 3 inches to spare - and no room to even walk around it. So, I think one of these giants is out for me.....

 

The seller doesn't give much info, but, if is truly a no rust car....from what I can see....it's a steal!

 

I'd swap my '91 Colony Park for that in a minute!!!

 

Yup. If I had the time and energy I would be on my way to look at this one! It's not all that far from me and I love these wagons. One of my top all time favorites. I'm angry that I DON'T have the time and energy to do a number on this car! It would have to have the 440 for me, though.

 

It does. Brochure states the 440 was standard in the T&C this year.
(Although it also says the 400 was also a (credit?) option......

 

Yeah, KK...I've seen them listed with a 400 engine in the past. If I'm going to drive one of these beauties it's going to have a 440 in it!

 

The fifth character of the VIN states the engine. If an "N" is present, it's a 400 car. A "T" designates a 440. This applies to '76 through '78 cars.

I'd take it with either!

 

I had one of these a few years ago but I sold it before I had a chance to enjoy it. Maybe I will get another one someday.

 

The 440 was included with the trailer towing package on the sedan, and was mandatory on the wagon with the tow package. There is so little difference in output between the two that putting a good dual exhaust on the 400 gives more power than the single exhaust standard on the 440. To me, the difference is immaterial. Both engines are torque monsters, and well able to handle the weight of the car.
