Vehicle Description
Stk 2316 1966 Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 'Non Letter Series' was introduced in 1962 as a
replacement for the Windsor brand. It was considered by many to be
a luxurious muscle car with the good performance of the
Plymouth/Dodge models and the comfort and ride of a Chrysler. This
1966 Chrysler 300 hardtop has had a retro-restoration with some
carefully thought out mechanical enhancements. It just may be the
only 1966 "Chrysler 300 SRT8" in existence. Originally powered by a
383/4V Chrysler wedge, the big MOPAR was the recipient of a 6.1L
Hemi. A 2006 Jeep SRT8 with 44K miles on the clock donated the
Hemi. It remains stock except for a computer/harness from MOPAR
specialist Bouchillon Performance Engineering. A 2006 5.7L Dodge
pickup (28K miles) gifted the 3-speed/OD automatic transmission.
Underneath is a solid chassis equipped with power steering and
upgraded power disc/drum brakes w/dual master. Other mechanical
improvements include: custom exhaust, refurbished front suspension
and new radiator. The exterior of the big Chrysler was nicely
repainted (2014) Nissan Magnetic Grey (2-stage). All of the chrome
trim (and there is a lot of it) is in near factory condition.
Period-correct 5-spoke CoysWheel alloys mount new 15" Hankook
whitewall radials. The interior was upgraded with black vinyl and
grey tweed. Standard equipment on these Chryslers was very posh -
offering bucket seats, wall-to-wall carpeting, tinted windows,
courtesy lights and many other luxury features. Sounds are provided
by a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo system and Vintage Air handles the HVAC.
This is one comfortable ride. This 1966 'Chrysler 300 SRT8' is an
amazing MOPAR street rod. It must be seen to be appreciated. ALL
VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
