This is a rare vintage car, limited edition!!! Drives and sounds great!! This 1969 Chrysler Convertible has only 37,800 miles on it, which I believe to be original miles, due to the lack of wear on the doors, foot petals, and due to the condition of the original paint on the engine. The original owners had numerous cars to drive, which in turn kept the milage down. Overall the top is in excellent working condition and with the touch of a button will fold in behind the back seat.
This convertible has a 383 Super Commando Engine, 8 cylinders, which is the original engine that came with this car. From everything that I can see, all numbers match.
The custom paint job matches the 1970 Convertible Hurst with the two-tone color, pin stripping, raised hood and more.
In 1970 Chrysler and Hurst went together and built what is called the 300H. There were only 486 of the 1970 hard top Hurst cars made, but only ONE, was a convertible! Is this the convertible? Actually this is a “clone” to look like the 300 Hurst.
This car is very solid and drivable. Because of the age it has a few areas that need some TLC; for example the back panels of the seats are in place but are cracked in a couple areas. The radio antenna needs hooked up and just recently the back window broke and currently needs to be replaced. There is a small tear in the convertible top about 1 1/2 inch in size.
This car starts and sounds great. It has been driven on the road and it gets around very nicely. Driving around with the top down, you get all kinds of looks and people wishing they could ride in it. The condition is well above average for the year. This car could be put in a parade or a car museum. Not aware of any others like this.
Once again this is a rare vintage convertible, with very low miles. I believe the 37,800 are the original miles. It is in excellent shape for the age and you will probably never see another convertible like this. This is a truly one-of-a-kind.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Chrysler 200 replacement coming in January
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autoweek reports the next Chrysler 200 will bow early next year. CEO Sergio Marchionne has said the 2015 model will debut next January, and Chrysler plans to cut the 2014 200 model year short to make way for the model's successor. According to AW, internal documents reveal 2014 model production will start this July and run through early January, 2014. The memos don't specify whether its Dodge Avenger twin will also see a shortened model year (the latter was originally rumored for discontinuation, but a successor is apparently back on the table). Chrysler is investing some $1 billion to construct paint and body facilities at its Sterling Heights, Michigan plant for the next-generation 200.
From what we've heard so far, we can expect the 2015 200 to bring a new design language to the Chrysler brand that will eventually bleed into the automaker's other products. Early reports have also suggested the four door will boast a nine-speed automatic transmission and return up to 38 miles per gallon.
Chrysler executed a very successful facelift in 2011, turning the flailing Sebring into the newly minted 200. Buyers responded enthusiastically, with sales jumping 44 percent in 2012. That step up was enough to make the 200 the brand's best-selling car. The momentum hasn't slackened, either, with sales up 21 percent during the first two months of this year.
