John -
Sounds like OCW got a few facts confused. John Lyons lives
here in CT and sold the second (NY) stick 300G car, while continuing on the
resto of the first one. While the manual tranny is a *rare* option, does anyone
think that it necessarily make the car significantly more *valuable*
?

Talking about
Chrysler manual trannys - In the latest Old Cars Weekly paper dated Jan 12,
2006, there is an article about the ?61 Chrysler 300-G with the 3-speed manual
transmission. According to article only 40 were built with this tranny and
only 4 were known to exist until a fellow named John Lyons from upstate NY
found a fifth one. He now owns/owned 2 of them. Article goes
on to say that he recently sold the car to another 300 club member and
restoration of this rare car is well underway. Article shows a picture of
shift handle being floor-mounted. Car was found in Stanfordville, NY where it was parked for more than 30
years.
