Re: [Chrysler300] K on ebay

I was amazed to see that too! Gotta be one of a handfull of letter cars ever made without a heater. I think the two buttons are for "OFF" and "VENT", even with no heat, there was a way to get fresh air in. Helped get the burning rubber smoke and smell out faster! :-) I have never heard of the extra cooling tank in the trunk. Looking close, I see what looks like hardware store fittings on the engine. Probably some owner added accessory. My expereince with the heater delete cars with the Ramcharger and Super Stock Max Wedges in '62 and '63 and I never saw a setup like that. 

BTW personally, I think the term "heater delete' is inappropriate, same with "radio delete". To delete an accessory implies it was standard equipment, which in most cases they were not. If you had bought a $2964 Newport in '62, It wouldn't be called a "heater delete" "radio delete" "power steering delete" "power brake delete" "automatic transmission delete" " O/S rear view mirror delete" etc., etc., car. Even though common options which most were equipped, ALL those options had to be added on the order sheet. On the other hand, a New Yorker with a 3-speed manual would be an "automatic delete" car because the automatic was standard on a New Yorker. MCG uses the term very loosley and it has caught on. Just hard for me to figure how to delete something that wasn't there to begin with.

Good eyes, Don - yes, it is most definitely a "heater delete" car !
Amazing - I had never seen one. Note the heater box delete, as well as the
cover where the heater blower motor would be ! as far as the fan / heater
controls - also deleted ! I wonder what the two remaining buttons are for
??? I guess the heater hoses go to that extra "tank" in the trunk !
