I am a GM guy, but those Chrysler Letter Cars make my heart beat like crazy! Specially the ones from the late Fifties. There are two things I experienced: In 1987 I met a kind of weird New Yorker Italian in LA who was somehow homeless but drove around in a 1965 Chrysler 300L. He had bought it at an auction for a few hundred bucks! It had been an abandonned vehicle. A friend and race car mechanic who was not into American cars could buy a 1961 Chrysler 300 G Convertible for a very good price. He had not known a lot about those letter cars but was very lucky to have it offered. He told me he had sold it to a museum at the end.

What strikes me more than the perusal of some extreme former gems of automotive machinery is : 1) Someone allowed these former gems to DECAY and I mean ROT. 2) I know for a Fact that the wrecking yards of the 70's wiped out cars at a ferocious pace, and for scrap prices a Chrysler 300 was often treated like just another hulk of steel. It was CRUSHED like so much iron, maybe 80 or 100 bucks. The current values for the classics was Created by the collector class of good old boys who knew that when there are only a few left,the price goes........UP.

A friend of mine got a 65 "L" as his first car back in high school in the 90's but it was pretty rusted out. He took everything off the car that he could, bagged and tagged everything, and then junked what was left. 30 years later he found a donor Newport and put all the "L" parts on it to reconstruct that old "L" as best he could. They are cool cars for sure.

The 1962 300-H was a hideously expensive car when new. Getting this really rare car on the road would be a huge score for the person willing to take it on. In fact, all Chrysler 300 letter cars in decent rust-free shape are worth restoring---bankers' hot rods.

Thing is a Chrysler or even a Dodge 880 should be able to supply just about all the sheetmetal that needs to put together. Based on what the 63 300 Sport sold for, another $500 would probably have bought a '62 donor.

My uncle was an actor in LA for 3 decades, he was Doggo in OCTAGON, 1st pilot killed in Midway, all 3 Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby films, A piece of the action, Lets do it again, Uptown saturday night, He was the bush pilot in wilderness he was family 1 and 2, Ravagers, and the Tijuana smalls man in 1970, Winston Nascar ads, every Steven J Cannell production series, many commercials. My Grandpa had 30 egg ranches around the inland empire, onwe had a coop about 1/8th mile long my uncle filled with 75 old Chryslers, 3 were Town and Country convertibles we restored to better than new, an air flow, we drove a 1929 Roadster from Mass to LA in 1976 it was unrestored and undriven since 1955, it took us a month, wooden rims, we retsoed the cat on the way home, several shops left us alone all night in their shops they were very nice and wanted to be part of the adventure. He had a 46 mercury woody Marmon Herrington 4wd conversion that is now being shown by a la school teacher who bought it it was custom made for ornithologist named Bleith a fotomat tycoon too..

Incredible. To think any of these survived. The odds were stacked. They were expensive, they were fast and big with 50's brake technology. The 60's and 70's were not kind to cars like these. To think with 50's technology they could put air conditioning on a big block with dual quads, high performance cam, power steering, and automatic transmission.....and still satisfy a somewhat finicky upper class car buyer! I love every year of these cars, they will never happen again with such style. And YES...Brute is a perfect description!

28 five for that car sounds pretty reasonable, IIRC it just needed paint and assembly. Maybe some messing with the engine. That last 300 I could have bought at that sale price. I kind of like those sort of boxy 63-64s, I never used to but they've grown on me. Did you see what happened to the GTO that was all shot up? A guy is driving that.

My Dad had a 1956 Ford truck stepside with a 413 Chrysler motor with the 727 trans and the short shifter in the floor under the bench seat, that truck could bake the tires at will but what a wild ride going fast or braking, crossing rr tracks etc, never knew where it was going! We rebuilt the front end to no avail finally put a Cordoba front clip on it. I goty my 1st ticket in it at age 14 lol on J street cruise in Sacramento 1975, I had to tell my Dad I sneaked out his truck and lied to the cop about having a license.

A pro could ID the engine based on the exhaust manifold design & flanges… The small block has one, the big block has two (bolt holes between the middle cylinders on both banks). I'm not sure about runner design, but I'm not a Chrysler mechanic.

Well they had a regular 300 and then the high performance version the letter series. Till 65? 64? Forget now. But a regular 300 was basically just a Newport or new Yorker. I love Chryslers. I own some newer ones 73 imperial , 74 Newport 4 door sedan ( triple forest green), 86 5th Ave... Newport is my favorite to drive. Has a 400 2 bbl but has plenty of power.
