Re: [Chrysler300] Tail-Lights

["anders nsmark" <chrysleranders@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo Ian.

Do you remember me? 66 300 tail lights? I brought the car from US and when 
it came to Sweden I examined it and found that the rear tail lights were 
changed from 300 to Newport.Probably by accident from before. I am very 
intressted to buy yours so I can restore mine to orginal. My car has a 440 
engine. Do you know how to see if it is aTNT engine or not? It has an 
aftermarket air cleaner when I got it, but it has braces for dual exhaust.

  Regards Anders
