Outrageously Rare 1957 Chrysler 300C 2 Door Convertible
The next amazing classic up for grabs in our Fairfield showroom is
this incredible, outrageously rare 1957 Chrysler 300C 2 Door
Convertible with Gauguin Red exterior paint and a tan leather
interior. You'll find a factory 392 cid, 375 horsepower V-8 engine
under the hood with a Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission,
factory dual arm torsion bar front suspension, power steering,
power brakes, a power convertible top and an ultra-rare factory
installed Hiway Hi-Fi entertainment system, which plays 16 2/3 RPM
records. With only 72,939 lifetime miles on this highly desirable
convertible, this is likely the Crown Jewel of '57 300C's
nationwide.
Meticulously Restored to the Highest Possible Standards
This 1957 300C Convertible was developed by Chrysler for the brand
new NASCAR series and it was the fastest production car of the
year. With a roaring 392 Hemi with a three-speed Torqueflite
automatic, dual quads and a new dual arm front suspension, these
highly desirable muscle cars achieved top speeds of over 130 MPH
gliding down the open road. Only 2,402 examples were produced in
that maiden year with a mere 484 as convertibles. This
numbers-matching example before you today with all original sheet
metal, the complete factory interior and the impossible to find
Hiway Hi-Fi option makes this one of the rarest, most sought after
examples you'll have the pleasure of viewing this year.
Additionally, this particular 1957 Chrysler 300C 2 Door Convertible
(serial # 3NE573170) underwent a multiyear frame-off restoration
from 2008 to 2010 to bring it back above Chrysler's new standards
in a typical showroom. All of the sheet metal, floor pans, chrome
and the entire interior are reported by the current owners as 100%
original- so is the drivetrain and most of the accessories on this
jaw dropping classic. Everything was restored or refreshed to the
highest possible levels with absolutely no expense spared. It's
been driven less than 3,000 miles since 2010 and received a recent
tune up to ensure it's ready to enjoy immediately.
Factory Correct Drivetrain, Interior, Suspension, Frame & Body
Stepping towards this 1957 Chrysler 300C 2 Door Convertible feels
like stepping back in time with a shockingly straight body that
seems to flow on forever. With flawless factory-correct Gauguin Red
exterior paint and fully restored chrome and trim work, the
exterior of this classic is truly unrivaled by any example we've
ever come across worldwide. We were informed that this restoration
exceeded $150,000 and the attention to detail is truly incredible.
The exterior of this classic is a 10 out of 10, flawless, absolute
perfection.
A glance under the hood of this '57 Chrysler 300C Roadster will
make any discerning collector smile as the factory 392 V-8 is new
in appearance. Not only has each component been fully restored in
appearance and function, but you'll also find like new hoses,
brackets, washers, nuts and screws. With optimal alignment
throughout and professional paint, this incredible rare example
possibly looks better today than it did leaving the dealership over
60 years ago.
The interior may well be the most impressive aspect of this 1957
Chrysler 300C 2 Door Convertible since the original Airfoam
cushions and correct padded dash are still in place with fresh
leather wrapping. The factory instrument cluster was also
painstakingly refreshed as was the two tone factory steering wheel,
radio and rare Hiway Hi-Fi record player. Fresh carpeting was added
to complete the sensational look and the finishing is exceptional.
The power ragtop also aligns correctly and is new in appearance-
the tan color really compliments the red exterior nicely.
The Crown Jewel of Historically Significant Muscle Cars
Overall, this exceedingly rare 1957 Chrysler 300C Roadster is one
of the most pristine examples in existence today. Given that this
highly collectible classic is considered by many as the first true
muscle car of the era, finding such a well-documented low mileage
example is likely a once in a lifetime opportunity. For someone
seeking the best of the best in one of the most significant
classics ever built, it simply will not get any better than this
amazing '57 Chrysler 300C Convertible.
