RE: [Chrysler300] Sure Grip Rear - 300L

["Owen Grigg" <ram300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I believe there was some talk to suggest that Kiekhaefer was
using/experimenting with limited slip rear axles in his race '55-6 300's
too.

Darrin and All:
The 300L was definately available with the Sure Grip limited slip rear  
axle----all year long.  The info I have says it was standard epuipment, but
I 
think I will defer to 300L model year consultant Don Warnaar on that  one.
Sure 
Grip was introduced in 1958 and was an option from that year  on.  1957
390HP 
300C performance package included a "limited slip"  differential as well.  I

don't think I would put too much trust  in the accuracy of that book!

I have a question about the availability of the sure  grip differential
for 1965 Chrysler (and prior years).  Per the  Chrysler 300 Series
Pedigree, Power and Performance since 1955 hardback  book from Veloce
Publishing, it states on p. 119 in the chart of 300-L  options that the
Sure Grip option code 596 was available March 1,  1965.  Does this seem
correct?  Does this in fact mean Chrysler  did not offer this type rear
until after mid-production year?  I  thought Chrysler offered the sure
grip for years prior on 300's?  Does  anyone know when the first was
offered?  I even thought a 300-L that I  previously owned with a 10/20/64
build date had a sure grip rear and my  current 300-L, I believe has
sure-grip with a build date of 12/28/64?   Could this just be a misprint
in the book?   



Thanks,



Darrin Bailey
