1966 300 Sport



Dear Club,



A friend of ours is selling his car, which we looked at today, with the club
in mind. Here's the lowdown.



1966 Chrysler 300 2 door Sport

It has a 383 with a 4 barrel on it. The motor sounds great, though needs a
tune up, a new fuel pump and the valve cover gaskets replaced.

Air Conditioning blows cold inside the car.

Defrost & heater buttons actuate what they are supposed to, though no heat
blows out.

Power windows work, though the rears need help, as they are very slow.

Rear defrost is present, though doesn't blow.

AM radio makes some crackling, though no stations come through. It does
have the rear speaker control knob under the dash.

Power antenna is there, though broken off in the up position.

Power trunk release located in the glove box does pop the trunk.

The center console is there, though the door located in the center needs to
be replaced as it's off its hinges.

The center console vacuum/power gauge works.

Interior is black buckets in the front and bench in the rear. All original
and in exceptional shape, headliner & door panels included. Carpet has
factory heel boards in the front, though the carpet should be replaced.

Transmission apparently slips between 2nd & 3rd, which probably means it
needs to be rebuilt.

Master cylinder needs to be replaced, as it appears to be leaking where it
meets the booster.

I don't know the shape of the brakes or the front suspension.

Both front fenders have been hit and they should be replaced, along with the
front grill.

Right rear quarter has a dent and the right rear taillight is broken along
with its housing.

Black vinyl top has rotted away, though there is no rust anywhere.

I don't know the original color of the exterior as it has been repainted,
though it needs paint again. Car is currently a charcoal/black color.

Front bumper has a decent ding in it on the driver's side.

All 14" hubcaps are present.

I was not able to drive the car, though my friend used it as a daily driver
for a year before obtaining a more fuel efficient car for his commute to &
from college.

Car has been sitting since 1997.

It's a good rust free California car, needing body, paint and some
mechanical.

He would like $1850 for the car.

I would like the car as a daily driver, though it's too much of a project
for us at this time. If anyone in the club is interested, please let us
know.

The car lives near the city of Orange, California.

I have several pictures I can e-mail if anyone is interested.
