Up for sale for the first time since 1993 is a very rare example of a 1961 Chrysler 300 G, refinished in its
rare factory color of Cinnamon Red. It has its Original 413 Long Cross Ram Dual Quad Intake, Its Original 727
Torqueflite trans with push button., dual point distributor, Leather power swivel seats, factory working console
mounted tachometer, Very rare factory A/C, ( complete but not charged or functioning.) Power antenna, windows,
steering, seats, Very solid example of a very rare and desirable Chrysler letter car. With 99 percent of its
original factory metal and all factory pinch welds undisturbed.
The history of this car before I got it is that it was originally purchased in Indiana in 61 and when the
owner moved to Goshen NY in the 70s the car was never registered and just stored, It was later sold by the family
and eventually in 1993 ended up in the hands of the very nice older gentleman who had intentions of restoring it
before becoming ill and selling the car to me a few years ago. When he presented himself and the car to the
Chrysler 300 club he it was found to be 1 of only 359 accounted for out of just 1280 produced. He registered and
insured the car but only drove it to some local car shows and for maintenance reasons.
During his ownership he first addressed mechanical issues on the car, he put new tires on it, new exhaust, shocks,
rear springs, brakes, etc. So this car has not been on the road and used for its intended purpose since the 70s,
there is an inspection receipt from 1974 showing 83000 miles, the car now has just above 89000 miles on the
odometer. There are registrations with the car in the original owners name from 1963,65,68,69.73,and 77. Paper work
showing 8/1/61 as the original purchase date. So though this car has had 4 actual owners it has been registered
only in the original owners name and the gentleman I purchased it from, I have not registered it in my name and do
not intend to so the current registration is open to be transferred to a new owner. Most important is that unlike
most of these old cars this one has been in the possession of people throughout its life that cared for it and did
not leave it to deteriorate as so many do. Meaning it did not sit outside and rust in the driveway.
When I purchased the car it was almost in a survivor status, but needed enough to me to warrant a cosmetic
restoration. What I have done:
stripped the entire car to metal,
made repairs to rusted areas , small area behind each rear wheel, and a small area in the trunk floor.
These areas where cut out and new metal professionally replaced with no overlapping and no pinch welds on the
body involved.
Repainted car with computer matched original rare cinnamon color in base clear using PPG products
had new windshield installed.
remove and reinstall accessories under hood to clean paint and detail
install all new belts hoses, valve cover gaskets.
re chrome bumpers and grill shell.
replace front wheel cylinders,
replace seat upholstery with a set of reproduction leather covers,
new battery installed.
( I just want to point out that I had a question about what appears to be damage to the rocker panel in one of
the photos, It is a reflection, there is no damage, and the white marks are just some residual polishing compound
that was not wiped off).
A very lot of work has gone into this car in the last few years and it is now in its "work the bugs out stage",
What I mean by this is that the car has not been driven on the road yet. It starts, runs and sounds good and can be
driven around the yard with no problems, I trust that most people in the hobby will understand that the car needs
to be driven and some adjustments and or small repairs made.
Some known things that need to be addressed:
radio makes static sound but doesn't play,
brake pedal feels low, probably needs to be bled or adjusted.
could not find correct trunk weather strip so it has none at this time.
Fuel gauge was tested and worked but not reading with 5 gallons of gas in tank, sender? ground issue? I will put
more gas in and post the results.
lights all work with the exception of the gauge cluster, It will work on and off when turning the light switch
dimmer. Seems to be contacts in switch?
There is a spare wheel but it does not match the new 4 tires on the car.
I am not sure if I have the bumper jack I am looking for it, so assume its not with the car, if I find it I will
post it.
A/c will need charge to put into service.
Passenger front window is slow and needs assistance up and down.

New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon
Wed, Aug 26 2015As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.

Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van
Fri, Jun 24 2016A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:
