63RedBrier Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Shouldn't the engine have the cross-rams with the runners leading out to the carbs mounted closer to the wheel-wells? Maybe the '61 G's were the last year for this feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchan Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Great car. I know zero about this model, but I love cars that come from a long-time owner, and 43 years is definitely a long time. As a non-Facebook person, I can't understand why someone would post there if only other Facebook users can access the seller's contact info. It's a valuable car; pony up for an ad where everybody can join the fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 At one point in the distant past, Hertz had a program to rent older cars. One time, on a business trip, I rented an 300H convertible from them. It ran like a scalded cat in a straight line, wouldn’t corner at all. Hertz told me it had been owned by Karen Carpenter originally - I’d love to believe that. Those were the days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Richard Carpenter had a nice collection of 300s, but they were too young to have bought any of them new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I think it is a cool car but has too high of miles to command $75,000 except from monied Mopar collectors who don't care what a car they must have - costs. It is a truly great car though, in those sporting colors, convertible and all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 A Chrysler 300 letter-car is a perfect case of specialty models, rare when new, becoming quite common. So many people have preserved them and lavished money on restoration that there are always quite a few examples available for sale at any time. Some other models, once routine and overlooked, may be many, many times rarer today than this car! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The owner has been trying to sell this car for at least a year and a half now, since our first posting about it was in the spring of 2022. The price should be more and more negotiable as time goes by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Absolutely love those four bucket seat/console interiors in these 300 Letter Series models. Although it wouldn't be factory, a 'phantom' 1962 Dodge Custom 880 D-500 convertible with four speed transmission and this interior configuration would be the ultimate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconvertibleguy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Love the colour and the rarity, but that price would drive me away. For reference, I can get a decent C2 corvette up here for that cash, especially after conversion and customs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
