Found sitting in a shed a 1958 factory Fuel Injected 392 Hemi Head Chrysler 300D in mostly original condition including paint. A piece of history...sitting for years....this one survived..... car still has matching number engine and transmission. It is mostly complete but will need total restoration.Chrysler built a total of 21 fuel injected 300D's but only 16 were considered production cars built on and after Feb. 14th of 1958. This car is one of the production units, #12 built on March 6th of 1958.Black plate California car, parked in 1985, it has rust but comes with near perfect 57 Saratoga 2 door rust free parts car that will supply all bad sheet metal. Only 3 MMM Mesa Tan F.I. 300D's made with tan leather interior. Car comes with a lot of documentation including many letters and authentication from Gill Cunningham, former President of Chrysler 300 International Club. Loaded with many factory options including 6 way power seat, power steering windows and brakes, power antenna, dual deluxe AC with heater, fuel injection w/ AC, 3.31 sure-grip, remote mirror, radio, and Solex tinted glass. In fact, only 5 cars were equipped with AC and this is the only one with dual front and rear Air Conditioning. Bendix Injection was rushed into production but did not work well at the time so project was cancelled and these cars were ultimately recalled and fitted with standard 4bbl carb or 2x4 carbs installed. Injection is long gone but some of the unique injection stuff is still there including most under hood wiring and oil filler neck. Removable cover is still in center off the trunk pan for Bendix fuel pump access. Driver side moldings are gone but both 300D Fuel Injection quarter panel medallions are present but badly sun faded although on backside of each medallion you can see the words 'Fuel Injection' and 300D and note the numbers '300' and the letter 'D' are shorter than standard production 300D car red, white and blue medallion. I have included Photobucket link to show additional pics. Once in a lifetime chance to own a piece of automotive history. If any questions, call 425 219 3sixsix3. Also, I can deliver both cars for a fee to Mopar Spring Fling in Van Nuys, CA week of April 14th if that helps winning buyer. Prefer bank wire and 500.00 Paypal non refundable deposit within 24 hours end of auction to insure serious buyer. 425 219 3663 if any questions.
