1960 CHRYSLER 300F COUPE - FULLY RESTORED & BREATHTAKING
Most desirableyear, Long Ram 413 cid, Preferred Color Scheme, Perfect Interior, Immaculate Undercarriage, Extensive Documented Restoration
The Chrysler 300 Series was truly the first American Muscle Car. Whether that means power to weight ratio or putting huge engines in cars, Chrysler leapfrogged others. The 1960 Chrysler 300F is absolutely the best looking year of the 7 year run and THIS PARTICULAR 300F is certainly one of the very best you will find.
Painstakingly restored over many, the photos provided will reveal a truly extraordinary car in every way. Meticulously clean and accurate in every way you will just fall in love with what Virgil Exner and the Chrysler design team created.
The 1960 "F" was special for several reasons, the most important is that it was the first Letter car to feature unitized construction for a more solid build and ride quality, and the 423 cid - 375 hp V-8 with the new Ram-Tuned cross-ram induction system and dual four-barrel Carter carburetors bolted atop 30-inch-long intake runners. It's the unique design of these runners that allows this engine to develop an incredible 495-lbs.ft. of torque at just 2,800 rpm!
Next is the unique two year body shape with sweeping fins over half the length of the car. But 1960 was the best. 1961 introduced slanted headlights, awkward tail lights and did not have the dramatic faux trunk tire cover with large emblem that matched the wheel covers.
And third, the interior is pure jet-age! The legendary Astro Dome instrument cluster uses electroluminescent lighting to basically "glow"! The interior is designed with four bucket seats highlighting the full cabin center console and absolutely beautiful styling.
This particular car has been restored passionately and is one of 964 hardtops made in 1960. I purchased the car a couple of years ago from photos alone. When it arrived I was shocked by the quality and thoroughness of the restoration.
I've provided you with an extensive set of photos that I hope will clearly show the condition of all areas of the car. I don't know when the engine was rebuilt, but it runs beautifully with zero leaks and with outstanding torque and power band.
Everything works on the car, even the clock and console mounted tachometer. The drivers seat power switch seems temperamental. The Astro Dome lighting has been rebuilt as well. I would say that all the interior soft areas are perfect...but I am not a 300F judge so you will need to decide.
Another wonderful area is the undercarriage. As a long time car enthusiast, undercarriages are an area that are very difficult to get right. They are the unseen neglected areas and either coated with glue like undercoating or with surface rust and dents everywhere. This cars undercarriage is spectacularly clean.
The car was not built with the air conditioning option. Some collectors are option crazy and believe they are essential to value. In these cars A/C is a massive system and truly crowds the engine compartment and clutters the dash with vents. It is your decision, but in warm areas cruising this car with windows open is a joy and makes it much easier to say "thank you" to the compliments at each stoplight. Ditto for convertibles....they command higher prices than coupes. I prefer coupes for a quite and cozy ride.
I'm very picky with cars. On this car it needs a bit of accelerator pump adjustment and perhaps a front alignment or radial tires.
I've included lots of other information with the links below, including some YouTube links to do some self education as needed.
Please contact me through ebay with any requests. The car is located in Newport Beach, CA. Thanks for considering this car as one of your classic car investments.
