Vehicle Description
Mopar fans know how important one little letter can be. It takes a
nice full-size convertible and turns it into something that is
rare, luxurious, and powerful. This 1964 Chrysler 300K has all the
right luxury touches and its original 413ci V8 heart. So when you
consider only 625 convertibles were produced, we know this classic
won't last long at this price.
Aside from just being ultra rare, this Chrysler droptop is also a
great looking premium classic. The front end manages to be
aggressive and graceful at the same time. There was no need for
excessive side trim, because the sheetmetal had a masterful profile
all on its own where the complicated design lines were smoothed
into a sophisticated silhouette. There are signs of Virgil Exner's
brilliance in the headlights and front fender sculpting. Plus, the
Sequoia Green paint has great gloss and sophistication. They
weren't quite ready to give up tailfins over at Chrysler in '64, so
the ridges on the rear quarters add just the right amount of style.
It all ends in a nicely formed rear end where the chrome bumpers,
rear panel, and taillights all seem to blend together in a
carefully crafted execution - a true sign this was a designer's era
in American cars.
Beneath the power folding white top is a great matching white
interior. These "letter series" Chryslers were all about offering
both luxury and performance, and the best way to understand it
comes the moment you sit in the cushy front bucket seats. You get a
highly-stylized steering wheel, and beyond that is an instrument
panel with big, bold, and easy to read with round gauges. This
readout package offers everything you want in a sports car,
including a large vacuum readout on the center console next to the
gearshift for a true blending of performance and luxury. As a
full-size convertible, there's plenty of room to carry family and
friends. And they'll be impressed by everything from the condition
of the seats to the factory AM radio that's still cranking out the
tunes. But the best luxury feature is arguably the power windows.
When combined with the power top, it means you don't even have to
leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a
wind-in-your-hair experience.
Under the hood is the original 413 cubic-inch V8. It looks
fantastically honest and original in the engine bay, right down to
the turquoise on the block and the decal still on the tall air
topper. We even believe the three-speed automatic transmission is
original, too. So we know you'll love using this to impress at the
survivor shows (it's even on bias ply tires with factory wheel
covers!) But we also know you won't be able to resist driving it.
After all, this big block is topped with a four-barrel carburetor,
so you know it's a powerful Mopar. Plus, power brakes and power
steering help keep this a luxury cruiser.
Complete with owner's manual and other original materials, rare
classics with this much power and appeal are usually not this
obtainable. So you know you need to be quick if you want to make
this 300K yours. Call today!!!
