1961 Chrysler 300-G Coupe 413 V8 with dual 4-bbl Carter carbs (375bhp @ 5,000rpm, 495ft/lbs of torque!) 727 Torqueflite 3-speed auto 3:31 rear axle ratio RARE AIR CONDITIONING! Check out the long tube ram intake on this AMAZING LETTER CAR - it's LEGENDARY!!
The Chrysler line introduced the so-called 'Letter' cars in 1955, with the 300 Series. These provided brute power in a luxury car and continued through the 50s and into the 60s. The Chrysler 300s from 1955 through 1958 were powered by hemi engines (331, 354, and 392 cubic inches). The later Letter 300s, 1959-1965, were powered by the new 413 cubic inch 'RB' wedge V-8. By 1961, Chrysler had run through the 300 B, C, D, E and F to this Chrysler 300-G. The 300-G was powered by a 413-cubic-inch wedge V-8.
One of the last of the powerful 'Letter Cars,' this car has the 413 cubic-inch 'Wedge Head' V8 engine capable of exceptional performance. The 1961 introduced another style change, the previous grill design was wider at the bottom than the top, was inverted. The quad headlights, formerly side-by-side were arranged in angled fashion. The taillights were moved from the fins to the tail below them. The 300-G was equipped with tail fins and eye-catching, tilted headlights. Inside, they were elegantly appointed and filled with luxurious amenities. Underneath the hood was a potent power plant that carried these large vehicles at a high rate of speed.
This very rare and desirable letter car has been treated to a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration that was completed in 2010 - the car is finished in black with a red leather interior. There are swivel seats, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power top, AIR CONDITIONING and a spare tire. The original sticker price was just under $6000 - big money 53 years ago!

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
Chrysler withdraws from UK market
Tue, Mar 17 2015Ford factors big in the British market, as does GM's Vauxhall brand. But one automaker that will be missing from the UK from here on out will be Chrysler, as the latest reports coming in from the British Isles indicate that the American brand is closing up shop. For the past few years, Chrysler has been selling a combination of its own models as well as rebadged Lancias to British customers, but has been having a tough time making a go of it. After just a few short years of lackluster sales, Chrysler UK ceased selling the Delta, and according to Auto Express, is now withdrawing the 300C and Grand Voyager as well. That leaves just the Ypsilon, which will reportedly continue on an on-demand basis if customers ask for it, but even that will end by 2017. The withdrawal of the Chrysler brand from the British market mirrors that of Lancia, under whose name the same models are sold in continental Europe but which is now being confined strictly to Italy, where it will similarly continue to sell the Ypsilon. Of course that doesn't mean that FCA is withdrawing from the British market altogether. The Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Jeep brands will continue being offered in the UK, as will Maserati and Ferrari. Just don't expect to see many wing-badged Chryslers on the high street anymore – not that you would have until now. Last year the Chrysler brand reportedly sold fewer than 2,000 units in the UK, compared to the 10,000+ examples of just the Fiat 500 it moves there every month.

Mopar celebrates 50 years of the 426 Hemi
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Think of Chrysler performance and the names Mopar and Hemi are bound to come to mind. Chrysler and its Mopar performance parts division first introduced the original Hemi (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) back in 1951, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2011. But it was thirteen years later - 50 years ago - that the Pentastar automaker rolled out the most iconic Hemi of them all: the Gen II 426.
The massive 7.0-liter V8 engine instantly became a muscle car icon and went on to become a favorite of racecar constructors. Two competition versions of the Gen II 426 Hemi were made: one for the track and one for the drag strip, and both went on to illustrious strings of victories. The race engine first debuted at the 1964 Daytona 500 where it powered Richard Petty's Plymouth to the checkered flag and on to the NASCAR championship.
Meanwhile on the drag strip, the Gen II 426 Race Hemi propelled Don Garlits past 200 miles per hour and down the quarter-mile in 7.78 seconds. Changes in NASCAR regulations meant that Chrysler devoted the engine to NHRA drag racing, and to this day the Gen II 426 Race Hemi is still used in Funny Car and Top Fuel dragsters.
