RE: {Chrysler 300} G on eBay

The 1961 400HP short ram G engine used the setup from the 1960 300F GT special. That is, it used WATER heated short rams and special headers. The 1960-61 headers were different than the 1963/64 J/ramK headers. See this page in our tech dept. on the club website; scroll down the page to see the ’61 headers: https://chrysler300club.com/tech/ramheader/1.html

This G on ebay has J/ramK EXHAUST heated short rams and headers installed, not original to the car obviously, with a later 440 engine as Del stated below. The J/ramK short ram setup did not use the 1960-61 long ram anti-stall device.

100% not a 400HP Unicorn - per description: "Engine upgraded to a 440 about 1966 due to a machine shop mishap on the orig 413". Don't see an anti-stall device at linkage pivot either.

Mmmm

I’ve heard there were a few 400HP “G’s”’ built.
I don’t know if those were 3 speed stick cars or TF cars or a combination.

Any chance this could be one of those unicorns?

Keith is correct. A short ram G. Good grief what a mess. Yes, it does appear to also have the J/ramK cast iron headers. Alternator bracket installed backwards, plus more.

It also looks like the intakes were converted to short rams, unless I’m not seeing clearly here.

Assuming the above, the pics aren’t clear enough to show if it also has the short ram headers (which would be a stretch!)

Saw this G coupe for sale in the Car Corral at Chicagoland Mopar Connection’s ‘Belvidere Mopar Happening’ on July 9. Car was not known to our Club, as I provided the s/n to Andy M. and Mark O. Asking price was $68k - way overpriced for a G in this condition. Confirming there was no body plate on the A-Pillar - seen in one of my photos attached. Car had the wrong hubcaps on it, but the correct ones were set on the grass next to the car. I pointed out several ‘issues’ with this car and its condition, that the [father/son?] sellers did not take kindly to. They knew, or appeared to know, very little about this car.
Buyer Beware!

Not sure if the VIN is in the registry.
