( please read and understand entire description and transaction rules before bidding,, sk anynecessary questions before bidding.)
Up for sale for the first time since 1993 is a very rareexample of a 1961 Chrysler 300 G,refinished in its rare factory color of Cinnamon Red. It has its Original 413 Long Cross Ram Dual Quad Intake, ts Original 727 Torqueflite trans with push button., ual point distributor, eather power swivel seats, actory working console mounted tachometer, ery rare factory A/C, complete but not charged or functioning.) Power antenna, indows, teering, eats, nbsp;Very solidexample of a very rare and desirable Chrysler letter car. With 99 percent of its original factory metal and all factory pinch weldsundisturbed.
The history of this car before I got it is that it was originally purchased in Indiana in 61 and when the owner moved to Goshen NY in the 70s the car was neverregistered and just stored, t was later sold by the family and eventually in 1993 ended up in the hands of the very nice older gentleman who had intentions of restoring it before becoming ill and selling the car to me a few years ago. When he presented himself and the car to the Chrysler 300 club he it was found to be 1 of only 359 accounted for out of just 1280 produced. Heregistered and insured the car but only drove it to some local car shows and formaintenance reasons.During his ownership he first addressed mechanical issues on the car, e put new tires on it, ew exhaust, hocks, ear springs, rakes, tc. So this car has not been on the road and used for its intended purpose since the 70s, here is an inspectionreceipt from 1974 showing 83000 miles, he car now has just above 89000 miles on the odometer. There areregistrations with the car in the original owners name from 1963,65,68,69.73,and 77. Paper work showing 8/1/61 as the original purchase date. So though this car has had 4 actual owners it has been registered only in the original owners name and the gentleman I purchased it from, have notregistered it in my name and do not intend to so the currentregistration is open to betransferred to a new owner. Most important is that unlike most of these old cars this one has been in thepossession of people throughout its life that cared for it and did not leave it to deteriorate as so many do. Meaning it did not sit outside and rust in the driveway.
When I purchased the car it was almost in a survivor status, nbsp;but needed enough to me to warrant a cosmetic restoration. What I have done: stripped the entire car to metal, made repairs to rusted area, mall area behind each rear wheel, nd a small area in the trunk floor. These areas where cut out and new metal professionally replaced with no overlapping and no pinch welds on the body involved. Repainted car withcomputer matched original rare cinnamon color in base clear using PPG products had new windshield installed. remove and reinstall accessories under hood to clean paint and detail install all new belts hoses, alve cover gaskets. re chrome bumpers and grill shell. replace front wheel cylinders, replace seatupholstery with a set of reproduction leather covers, new battery installed.
A very lot of work has gone into this car in the last few years and it is now in its "work the bugs out stage", hat I mean by this is that the car has not been driven on the road yet. It starts, uns and sounds good and can be driven around the yard with no problems, trust that most people in the hobby will understand that the car needs to be driven and some adjustments and or small repairs made.
Some known things that need to be addressed:
radio makes static sound but doesn't play, brake pedal feels low, robably needs to be bled or adjusted. could not find correct trunk weather strip so it has none at this time. Fuel gauge was tested and worked but not reading with 5 gallons of gas in tank, ender? ground issue? I will put more gas in and post the results. lights all work with the exception of thegauge cluster, t will work on and off when turning the light switch dimmer. Seems to be contacts in switch? There is a spare wheel but it does not match the new 4 tires on the car. I am not sure if I have the bumper jack I am looking for it, o assume its not with the car, f I find it I will post it. A/c will need charge to put into service. Passenger front window is slow and needs assistance up and down. I should mention that thesteering wheel has some cracks in the clear crystal part as they usually do,because its not in any of the photos. I will try to post photos of the car that will show its overall condition, lease ask for any additional photos or questions before bidding, s is usually the case with the sale of an old car like this it comes sold as is condition, ith no Warranty or guarantees of any kind other than that my description is honest. I am an Honest " Old car guy" and would be more inclined to not sell a car if the new owner was not going to be happy with the purchase. That being said I do not understand how I see expensive cars listed with a two line description. I would be most comfortable with and think it is always best to come look at it or send someone on your behalf. I will try my best toaccommodate any inspections of the car, ut please remembe, , hecar is not insured or registered to be driven on the road and must be picked up from my property.
The car is located in Washingtonville NY.
