Re: {Chrysler 300} 1965 Chrysler 300 L Manual 4 Speed - For Sale

[Scott T <scotttaylorsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

John,

  I’ve seen several new Challenger convertibles over the years.  They’re out there.  About $20k and a month or so in Florida and you can have one too.  They’re an extremely nice conversion… well done and the top, rear windows, and interior are done right.  Makes it tempting to find a roof damaged Challenger and have one converted.  We love our 6.1 Challenger.  It’s smooth and powerful… great on longer trips.

Still disappointing that there was no 426 Hemi powered 300M in 1966, instead a 4 door, front wheel drive K-car variant 6 cylinder with less than 300hp got the 'M' designation in 1999.  It should have been a non-letter 300 Sport, at best.  In spite of the success of the reborn 300 for this century, being a 4-door sedan with no 2-door or convertible variants offered was another disappointment.  Imagine a 2005+ Chrysler 300'N' SRT-8 with only 2 doors and optional top that went down!  I'd have a 19 year old one in my garage today if they had done it.  Many fans of the original Dodge Charger have misgivings about the 'extra' doors that showed up on their revived Chargers as well.  How about a Challenger convertible while I'm asking for the moon?  Lucky for Stellantis, I'm not in charge, otherwise the push for an electric vehicle offering would be a version of the original Turbine Car with electrical underpinnings.  How cool would that be?  It would even make sense since a lot of electricity is created using turbine technology.  

Oh well, guess we'll have to wait and see how the new 6 cylinder turns out.  Maybe they'll bring back the Valiant/Duster/Volare names and build the new 6 so it looks like a slant 6 Hyper Pak? ;-)

I’m not sure if any of you guys or gals in the Pacific Northwest have come across this one or not……..or if it’s known to the club (Tag is shown in ad. )

 I found this in the Seattle area not far from me in Vancouver, Canada but I’m unfortunately not in the market for another ’65 300. 

Looks okay in the pics…..
