Vehicle Description
Straight out of long term 'Barn' storage. This project find
Chrysler 300 is a beauty with the right looks and low original
miles. 360ci V8, Leather Bucket Seats, Air Conditioning, and more.
Our 300 came to us as part of a large single owner collection
purchase whom was a New Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Jeep dealer in
Upstate NY. Unfortunately the long time franchise dealer principal
passed away leaving a legacy of a business still standing and
cherished possessions like this car collection. Many of the
vehicles including this Chrysler had not seen the light of day for
many years. This one was acquired by its late owner back in
November of 1988 and has sat parked since. That being said, you can
clearly see that the topside of the Chrysler is in great shape and
cleaned up well with a simple wash and vacuum. The underside, for
whatever reason has not faired as well. There is significant rust
to brakes, suspension, fuel lines, and as the pictures show,,,, the
entire undercarriage is very crispy. We got the engine fired up by
re-assembling carburetor and running engine off a fuel line into a
gas can so you can hear that it does indeed run. Sounds strong too.
It has no brakes and most of the exhaust is missing as you can see
from the pictures provided. This is a good project for the patient
and able enthusiast/mechanic. The Chrysler 300 (Chrysler 300 Sport
Series) was a full-size automobile produced by Chrysler from 1962
until 1971. It was a continuation of the earlier Chrysler 300
letter series. Chrysler decided to consolidate its product line and
the sedan replaced the 1961 Chrysler Windsor, which itself filled
the place in Chrysler's line previously occupied by the Saratoga
just the year before that (1960) and also filled in for the
discontinued DeSoto product line. At the time, it was considered a
luxurious "muscle car", with all the performance of the Dodge and
Plymouth products of the time, but with the luxury features
expected of the Chrysler name. The 300 was positioned as a more
affordable version of the exclusive 300 "letter series", and a
sporty variant of a full-size automobile, adding 4-door hardtop
version and running alongside that model until its discontinuation
in 1966. It became the sole 300 model until 1971, when production
ended. The 300 name returned to the Chrysler line in 1979 as an
option package on the Cordoba coupe. THIS IS A PROJECT CAR! IT WILL
