Hey talk about our severe Canadian Winters. This photo was taken December 26th, 2005 near my home in Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island. Temp was about 55 F. / 13 Celcius. | The car is a 300-Sport but features a complete factory installed 300-H running gear, including the 380 HP engine, 300-H suspension, 150 MPH speedo, and sure grip rear end. Since this photo was taken I have added an AAJ front disk brake kit with dual master cyl. Will posts updated photos later . | In front of the house. I purchased the car in 1982 with 91,000 miles. It now has ( OCT 07 ) 156,000 miles. I still enjoy driving it as much as possible in good weather. The engine was totally rebuilt at about 128,000. | Close-up of dash board, original pad no cracks, original clear wheel with padded horn ring (optional) , no cracks in clear area. 7 Button AM signal seeking radio. Other options are power steering, brakes, windows, seat, antenna. |
This old 300 has the optional leather upholstery. Carpets, headliner and some leather has been re-done over the years. Door panels are original. | Update - I sold the 62 - 300 in June 2008, and bought a 1960 Saratoga. See photos on the other album " my 1960 Saratoga". | Sitting in front with our latest family car, a 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring- sorry no Hemi. | I bought this car in 1982, an original Un-Rusted, Un-Molested California car. ( Had a repaint in 1980, still wearing most of that repaint) . I still enjoy driving this as much as possible, and have put 56,000 miles on it since 1982. I know technically many consider that this is not a Forward Look car, but I have the original keys with the FL logos on them, and the basic body is a carry-over from 1961. If we want to get technical about it not being an FL car having no fins, then I guess the 61 Plymouths and all the 1955 Mopars are not FL cars either. |
Interior has optional leather upholstery. Some original, some replaced. No cracks in original dash pad or plastic steering wheel. Has optional 7 button signal seeking AM radio. would like to convert it to modern AM - FM electronics. The 60-62 Chrysler dash board is awesome looking day or night. Next pick on favorite dash board would be a 1960 Polara dash board. | Start of the AAJ Front Disk Brake conversion. It took about 4 hours to RE & RE these, plus some more time to bend and install new lines, install the proportioning valve, and set everything up. | ||
