Re: {Chrysler 300} 1961 G convertible local car

The 1961 G has major rust in the sill and dogleg , right rear quarter was replaced with a New Yorker and needs to be replaced again. Bondo, undercoating covering the repair. The interesting thing is that the car was sold new, locally in Portland, OR. The good part is the interior, it's all there, but it's beat up a little, still has the radio and tach. It has 86,000 miles on it but was left in the rain. I really tried to see this car as a driver, but it will not work, it needs a $150,000 restoration to make it work.

An age-old question I guess. How bad does a G convertible have to be to not be worth saving? There were only 337 to begin with. Maybe not worth a show-car restoration, but maybe a safe, driver quality refurb?

Hi club members, I just a look at a 1961 G convert for sale in Oregon City. OR. The guy wanted $67,000 for a Black car and a tan interior. He called me and said he would take $50,000. The car is good for only a restoration or parts car. I will not buy this car, it can not be a driver. Call me if your interested about the description. I have then VIN and data plate info
