Vehicle Description
When the B-52s once bragged in a song that they "got a Chrysler and
it seats about 20" they could well have been referring to this 1970
Chrysler 300. It's so endlessly stylish and well-proportioned that
you lose sight of its generous dimensions, but you won't likely
come across many classics that epitomize exalted lengthy cruiser
status like it does. It's powered by the most coveted of vintage
MoPar big blocks and runs with the self-assuredness that can only
come with a lifetime of good care.
With its one of a kind presence, this vintage Chrysler is sure to
attract plenty of attention during its travels - there just isn't
another car on the road, regardless of era, that looks like it. Its
broad hood looms over an engine compartment spacious enough to
accommodate even the most sizable of big blocks with ease and it
gives way to an expansive cabin that provides a distinctive profile
view - with no side posts partitioning the windows, that cabin is
wide open when the windows are lowered. The rear roofline slopes
downward to an equally king-sized deck lid, capping off an overall
length that comes in at just a touch below 225 inches! Up front,
the grille houses a pair of hidden headlights surrounded by chrome
that's surprisingly clean, especially considering this classic is
just short of a half century old and has yet to see receive any
re-plating over its lifetime. The lengthy body is draped in a sharp
looking shade of green that's accented by a black vinyl top and,
while the sheer stature of this car would tend to magnify any
alignment challenges that might be on board, the exterior fit is
very solid.
While the black vinyl interior wears its survivor status proudly,
as well as the signs of use that come with it, the repairs needed
to bring this vintage driving environment back to top form would
get underway with a solid and stylish foundation already in place.
The covers on the broad front buckets do show obvious wear, but the
seats themselves are still well-aligned, indicating that the frames
underneath that upholstery are still in good shape, and they
straddle a center console that's surprisingly clean - even its
lockable compartment still functions as intended. Given the 300's
size, its expansive trunk area comes as no surprise and a glance
below the deck lid will reveal that it's still very solid, with a
full-size spare on board inside - merely swapping out its floor
liner appears to be all that's needed back here. This classic came
with more than its share of comfort and convenience features, so
with the right focused attention, you'll find yourself behind the
wheel of a well-equipped ride.
The 440 cubic inch V8 lurking below the hood is the most revered
Mopar big block offered during this era and it's in fine form here.
Armed with a 4-barrel carb on top, it starts up easily and runs
smoothly as it teams with a 3-speed automatic transmission shifting
with slip free precision to make for a road-ready drivetrain - put
this classic in gear and you'll get the feeling that it's just
itching to get out on the asphalt and strut its vintage magic.
Power steering makes navigating easy, while power brakes bring its
set of 15" steel wheels to low-effort stops. With the factory
suspension still in good order, this Chrysler feels like a magic
carpet on wheels as it cruises the asphalt.
Offering an unmatched presence, as well as inspiring potential at
an attainable price, this 1970 Chrysler 300 presents a great
opportunity. Call today!
