Vehicle Description
A fantastically designed exterior, a vibrant leather interior, and
plenty of V8 power under the hood - this 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport is
a long and low hardtop classic that offers distinction for quite an
affordable price.
This was the first year the 300 name extended beyond the letter
series of cars, and in fact, it was hard to tell the difference
between a 300H coupe and a 300 Sport without looking at the badge.
They both were expensive coupes with a terrific pillar-less profile
that we love on an upper-class '60s machine. Overall, Chrysler
really created a unique look with the car. It's in the angle of the
headlight cluster; the way the marker lights flow into the fenders;
and the rear end where the taillights expertly follow the nearly
impossibly curvy form. No one would dare produce something this
complicated in today's world, and so it's great to find such a
well-preserved machine. This one has a terrific history of care
where it has been in the same family for 35 years. It was bought in
southern California in the mid-1980s and believed to be a
California car the full time before that. It was garage-kept in San
Diego, except for the last nine years where it was in a heated
Idaho garage. That's how you get a car that looks so clean and
complete with just the right touches of again on the
factory-correct white paint and chrome bumpers to help tell this
car's well-respected story.
The red interior has a premium and vibrant style against the creamy
white exterior. You'll love the texture of the taut headliner, the
intricate pattern of the doors, and the supple feeling of the
leather upholstery. It makes for the kind of impressive style that
will have plenty of family and friends wanting to go for a ride in
this full-size coupe. There are provisions for some terrific
classic features, like the AM radio and air conditioning (they will
need servicing to full function again.) And there are even cool
details, like the dash-mounted rear-view mirror and working dome
lights. Plus, power windows mean you even have to leave the driver
seat wherever you want to take down all the glass and show off the
pillar-less hardtop profile. It will be hard to find any upgrades
in this well-presented time capsule (there is a dash under the
dash.) Instead, this celebrates a truly ambitious style with a
tuck/roll dash pattern and a very unique gauge cluster. This is
flanked by push buttons for not only the heat/defrost, but also the
gear selector, too!
Chrysler's 383 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top
was their bedrock for the muscle car generation, and it makes for
effortless driving in this cruiser. Plus, we're told this is an
upgraded motor that was balanced, and it includes an upgraded cam,
bored .30 over, upgraded piston rings, and hardened valves to make
better power and run better on today's pump gas. True luxury
cruising also means a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.
Complete with owner's manual, this is where great style meets a
great history. This is a terrific total package, and at a price
like this, you'll want to hurry if you want to take it home. Call
