Hello and thank you for viewing this 1965 Chrysler 300L Convertible! 

Due to a relocation of my warehouse and business, I am unfortunately liquidating my Mopar Collection. 

This car boasts the last year of production for the Letter Series Chrylser 300’s. This vehicle is registered with the 300 Club International.  The car spent its life driving in Stockton, California (original black plate CA car) and has been stored indoors for the past 8 years waiting on a restoration!  There is virtually NO RUST on this vehicle.  The car is one of only 51 Convertibles made that year with factory Air Conditioning.  The original color for the car is white, with a black convertible top.  Interior is also black.

     According to the Chrysler 300 Club International Web Site, only 83 of these convertibles are known to have survived.  The car is virtually complete with numbers matching Engine.  The original 413 Wedge V8 is still in the car.  There is damage on the driver side involving the front fender and the door.  The inner front fender is also damaged.  

Additionally, we have sourced and purchased a 1965 2-Door Coupe as a "donor" car for the restoration process. This is available separately for an additional $1,000.00 to the winning bidder only. The donor car has excellent parts including the front fender, driver door, hood, and bumpers.  There are also some useful trim parts that can be re-used on the convertible.  The donor car does NOT have an engine, but all other running gear is with the car. 

     Please send an email for additional pictures.  I have set up a photo bucket site for viewing of an additional 100 photos.  Virtually all parts are needed for the restoration is complete between the two cars.  This car is an amazing survivor that is in need of a full restoration.

Shipping: I have a loading dock at the warehouse where the car is stored so we can load the car(s) into containers or on a truck and ship literally anywhere in the world.  The car is located 50 miles from either San Francisco or Oakland Ports.

Good luck to all bidders!

Former Chrysler dealers could reopen under appeals court ruling

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Years after the bankruptcies and subsequent bailouts of Chrysler (now FCA) and General Motors, the automotive industry is still seeing legal decisions about them come through the courts. The latest ruling from a US appeals court has given 4 of the 789 dealers that Chrysler closed in its Chapter 11 process one less hurdle towards reopening. Following the bankruptcy, 105 of the shuttered dealers went through an arbitration process in hopes of reopening, and 32 won their arguments. However, a victory in that undertaking didn't necessarily mean that the stores could reestablish themselves. For these three showrooms in Michigan and one in Las Vegas, state laws allowed nearby competitors from the same automaker to stand in the way of restarting, according to Automotive News. This problem brought yet another lawsuit, and a US district court found that the arbitration decisions did not overrule state laws. The latest appeals court ruling overturned that decision. However, as with many legal proceedings, the process for reopening for these dealers still isn't exactly easy. The latest decision only covers the nearby dealers' ability to protest; it doesn't mandate FCA actually to open the stores again. According to a statement from Michael Palese of FCA legal communications to Automotive News, the ruling, "did not provide for reinstatement of the dealers who prevailed in arbitration, but only gave them a right to a 'customary and usual' letter of intent." It means for these showrooms to start selling again, now they need to work things out with Chrysler's new owner.

Will the Chrysler 300 go front-wheel drive?

Tue, May 10 2016

FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne hinted last week that the strapping rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 sedan could go front-wheel drive for its next generation using the underpinnings from the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Speaking at the Pacifica's production launch in Windsor, ON, Marchionne said, "this plant and this architecture is capable of making the 300 successor, the front-wheel, all-wheel-drive successor," Reuters reported. Perhaps realizing he appeared to be announcing a dramatic shift in product strategy, Marchionne backpedaled in response to a follow-up question, noting only that the Ontario factory is "capable" of making the sedan. "It's capable. It's not a commitment," he said, according to Reuters. The 300 is currently built in Brampton, ON, alongside the mechanically similar Dodge Charger and Challenger. The platform, known as LX in enthusiast circles, is an evolution of Mercedes-based chassis pieces that date to the DaimlerChrysler era. Marchionne's comments didn't cover the Dodges and left a lot open to interpretation. The 300 could switch to front- and all-wheel-drive and focus on a more civilized, elegant ride character, leaving the Charger and two-door Challenger as traditional rear-wheel-drive muscle cars. That strategy would further differentiate the Chrysler and Dodge car lines. Additionally, the Charger's RWD platform makes it a popular police vehicle, and both Dodges are offered in top trim as 707-horsepower Hellcats. Switching to front-wheel drive would seemingly complicate both of those endeavors. Rumors have also swirled that Alfa Romeo could contribute RWD underpinnings for Dodge.

Apple picks up former FCA quality boss Doug Betts

Wed, Jul 22 2015

Apple made a significant personnel move that further signals its entry into the automotive world, hiring former Fiat Chrysler executive Doug Betts for an unspecified role. The information was obtained by The Wall Street Journal, which cites Betts' LinkedIn page. His career included stints at Toyota and Nissan before joining Chrysler Group (now FCA US LLC) in 2007, although his time there didn't end well. He left FCA, where he served as the automaker's head of quality, after the company's dismal showing in Consumer Reports' 2014 Annual Auto Reliability Survey. According to Betts' LinkedIn profile, which has since been pulled down, his job title reads "Operations – Apple Inc" in the San Francisco Bay area. Apple, meanwhile, was unwilling to divulge anything to the WSJ, although there's plenty to infer based on the hire. Betts wasn't the only big auto-related hire. According to the WSJ, Cupertino also lured an unnamed but "leading" autonomous vehicle researcher from Europe, who will be part of a team being setup to study driverless systems. Related Video:
