1961 Chrysler 300G Convertible
$137,000 2008 Barrett-Jackson Auction Scottsdale AZ
Mardigras Red with Buckskin Tan interior and White top
This 300G convertible is 1 of only 337 made. It is refinished in its correct Mardi Gras red and correct tan leather swivel seats. 79,000 actual miles. This vehicle is a combination original/restored original. It has been repainted only once in 1976 in the correct color on a very straight body (only minor dings). All the chrome is original (not re-plated) with exception of the bumpers (1976) and tail light housings (1981). Even the taillights and parking lenses are the original. The top was replaced in 2006 with the correct material. The interior is mostly the original from 1961 including the dash, pad, the door panels, consoles, sun visors and beautiful original clear and black steering wheel and horn ring. The seats and carpeting are Gary Goers and were redone in 1981 and are correct. In 2006-2007, the car underwent a major mechanical restoration including complete engine rebuild, new motor mounts, transmission, rear end (as necessary), new water pump, new hoses and belts, new plugs, wires and carbs rebuilt, radiator, front end (as necessary) and much more. In addition, the engine compartment, including all components, was professionally repainted in correct colors and then clear coated. Everything in the car works well including all the power equipment, radio, heater and clock. The lighter does not work. Original equipment includes TorqueFlite transmission, correct and original 413/375hp Ram-Induction engine, power steering, brakes, seat and windows, original radio, heater and remote mirror. The spare tire is the original Goodyear Blue Streak wide white tire. The car has been featured in many books and magazines including the cover of "Collectible Automobile" in Oct. 2007, "Automobile Quarterly" in 1975, plus many more. It was also featured in a TV commercial for Very Fine Juice and was photographed to appear on "The Amazing Race" TV series in 2007.
