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!

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98
Wed, Jun 17 2015Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
Six arrested from chop shop linked to Dream Cruise thefts
Sun, Sep 20 2015The spirit of this year's Woodward Dream Cruise was dampened after a rash of car thefts were reported. The vehicles included a 1966 Chrysler 300 Deluxe, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, and a replica of the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro owned by the founder of Papa John's Pizza. While these thefts outraged the collector car community, that same tight-knit group is now breathing a sigh of relief, as those responsible are behind bars. Detroit Police arrested six people – three adults and three teens – on Thursday, September 17, in connection with a chop shop operation linked to the collector car thefts. According to The Detroit News, one suspect is still at large. There's concern among Dearborn police that the same group responsible for the Dream Cruise thefts boosted some vehicles from a Ford factory. While the Camaro was recovered mostly whole and found in a giant bush on Detroit's west side, the fate of the Corvette or Chrysler has not been made known. Here's hoping these classic cars make it back into their rightful owner's garages soon. News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jerry S. Mendoza / AP Government/Legal Chrysler Classics
