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.

Trump tells Detroit 3 CEOs he wants more US jobs, calls environmentalists 'out of control'
Tue, Jan 24 2017As expected, President Donald J. Trump met with top executives from FCA, Ford, and General Motors this morning as part of a larger push to generate jobs in America. "I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here!", Trump said in a tweet ahead of the meeting. Not everything said in the meeting was made public, but the President later tweeted that he had a "Great meeting with automobile industry leaders." FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, Ford chief Mark Fields, and GM's Mary Barra all echoed the positive vibes after the meeting. In a statement, Barra called the discussion "very constructive and wide-ranging," adding that it focused on "policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry," and "that supports the environment and safety." That's noteworthy, because Trump is reported to have said "I am to a large extent an environmentalist. I believe in it, but it's out of control." Fields, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, "We're excited about working together with the president and his administration on tax policies, on regulation and on trade to really create a renaissance in American manufacturing." The Ford CEO was specifically talking about Trump's withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "We've repeatedly said that the mother of all trade barriers is currency manipulation, and TPP failed in meaningfully dealing with that, and we appreciate the president's courage to walk away from a bad trade deal," he said. Marchionne focused on American manufacturing in his statement after the meeting. "I appreciate the President's focus on making the US a great place to do business. We look forward to working with President Trump and members of Congress to strengthen American manufacturing." Perhaps equally as interesting as what was said and who was invited are what wasn't said and who wasn't invited. Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for US automakers' plants in Mexico, but no mention was made of the North American Free Trade Agreement by Trump or any of the Detroit CEOs after the meeting. We also have to wonder if Trump plans to meet with representatives from German, Japanese, and Korean automakers that have made massive investments into American plants and produce a large number of cars in this country.

Sell your own: 1969 Plymouth Barracuda
Mon, May 22 2017Looking to sell your car? We make it easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. Always the "third" element in Detroit's Big Three, Chrysler and its Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler divisions, usually played catchup to GM and Ford. However, Plymouth actually arrived to the ponycar segment on time, with its launch of the Valiant-based Barracuda almost on top of Ford's Mustang. That said, the segment became named for ponies, not an aggressive fish. By 1969, the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro were becoming bigger and more sophisticated. The Barracuda, by contrast, held on to its essential simplicity. We'd prefer the fastback and a small-block V8, but in the context of 2017 collectible-car values for Mopar, even a Slant Six coupe with unknown mileage might be worth checking out. From the supplied pics, this '69 Cuda looks to be in good condition; if it weren't, the asking price would likely be south of $10,000 – not north. Scarcity's not an issue, so this Barracuda would seem well-suited for the resto-mod treatment (above and beyond the aftermarket hood scoops), while keeping the post-purchase investment as minimal as the original outlay.
