Re: [Chrysler300] vintage drag racing photos

In 1962 Hot Rod Magazine took a 62 300H and raced it at the drags bone 
stock. Then started doing little things to make it go faster . They 
ended up campaigning the whole season. It is a great story on how 
everything they did was documented and your able to see the results. I 
won't tell you the end of the story. I don't want to no the end without 
reading it.
