Re: {Chrysler 300} Trans ID

Wow, I had no idea my console Hurst was possibly one of only 50. I wonder how many of those 50 survived? I also have a tilt-telescopic column with rim-blow horn. Right side bucket seat also reclines. Pretty much power everything except cruise control. Radio is signal seeking AM/FM, but no tape deck of any kind. A/C is thankfully the simple kind and not auto-temp.

Is there any way to determine how many were made this way from club archives?

Nope. They literally sawed the shift lever flush with the column and left the wound. And they wired, the shift rods dangling from the steering shaft, to the frame. That was referenced several times by the concourse judges, back in the day.
I assume all console Hursts were done the same way. They only built about 50 Hursts with the console, so it was handled "Special"

Are you sure that wasn't the shifter lockout from the column that was disconnected? That was only used on 1970 cars.

My 300L had a console and when I blew the trans, I had to have it rebuilt as the shop did not have a console shift trans available. Although I have rebujilt many of them, at the time, I did not have the space or time to do it.
My Hurst had a console but the factory sawed off the column shift lever, and wired the shift linkage to the frame.
It Looked like a "Good Ole boy conversion."
Ray See all yall in Fredericksburg this fall!

In 1964 the console shift cars used a different valve body from the pushbutton cars. I don't know if the 1965 cars had a difference between the column shift and console shift.

The 1965 cars went to the slip yoke except for the a-bodies.

James, maybe I’m missing something here? 1965 300’s did not come with push button trans. Cable shifted console and column shift only for all C-bodies. I believe it was 1966 they went to the hard linkage and did away with the cables.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to ID if a 727 trans is a cable shift versus a console shift from the outside?

I have a trans that is an EARLY 1965 spare. Rail number F2466112 1587547 which should mean Flint Wednesday December 1^st 1965.

This in the MPB shows as an early 1965 383-413 with 4-BBL.

It is a flange not a yoke type. I understand they did a mod-year change from flange to yoke.

I would like to know if it was a console versus a push button without having to open it up.

Thanks, James
