RE: 1962 Chrysler 300 $1,200

I say go for it. To rebuild the tranny is gonna cost probably $800. Plus you get a 383 and tons of parts for your Newport. Just be sure to give him a low ball offer, say $800. He just might take it. Did that with my 65 Polara. Buddy wanted $1250 for it. I got it for $750, first offer. Then a year and a half later I picked up a 4 dr parts car for $120 with a pretty much perfect front clip. My point is JUST GRAB THAT CAR ALREADY. You won't regret it.
