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.

The problem with how automakers confront hacking threats
Thu, Jul 30 2015More than anyone, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller are responsible for alerting Americans to the hacking perils awaiting them in their modern-day cars. In 2013, the pair of cyber-security researchers followed in the footsteps of academics at the University of Cal-San Diego and University of Washington, demonstrating it was possible to hack and control cars. Last summer, their research established which vehicles contained inherent security weaknesses. In recent weeks, their latest findings have underscored the far-reaching danger of automotive security breaches. From the comfort of his Pittsburgh home, Valasek exploited a flaw in the cellular connection of a Jeep Cherokee and commandeered control as Miller drove along a St. Louis highway. Remote access. No prior tampering with the vehicle. An industry's nightmare. As a result of their work, FCA US recalled 1.4 million cars, improving safety for millions of motorists. For now, Valasek and Miller are at the forefront of their profession. In a few months, they could be out of jobs. Rather than embrace the skills of software and security experts in confronting the unforeseen downside of connectivity in cars, automakers have been doing their best to stifle independent cyber-security research. Lost in the analysis of the Jeep Cherokee vulnerabilities is the possibility this could be the last study of its kind. In September or October, the U.S. Copyright Office will issue a key ruling that could prevent third-party researchers like Valasek and Miller from accessing the components they need to conduct experiments on vehicles. Researchers have asked for an exemption in the Digital Millennial Copyright Act that would preserve their right to analyze cars, but automakers have opposed that exemption, claiming the software that runs almost every conceivable vehicle function is proprietary. Further, their attorneys have argued the complexity of the software has evolved to a point where safety and security risks arise when third parties start monkeying with the code. Their message on cyber security is, as it has been for years, that they know their products better than anyone else and that it's dangerous for others to meddle with them. But in precise terms, the Jeep Cherokee problems show this is not the case. Valasek and Miller discovered the problem, a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to the UConnect infotainment system, not industry insiders.
2014 Chrysler 300S gets all black and blue
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Outside of the SRT variant, if you want the sharpest-looking Chrysler 300, you'll probably want the 300S trim. This showy variant has traditionally sported larger wheels and some subtle body changes to set it apart from the herd, along with its own unique take on the big sedan's interior.
For 2014, the S will be set apart even further. A number of exterior items will be blacked-out, including black chrome around the grille and Chrysler badges finished in a liquid-chrome finish with a black center. Black moldings are standard, while owners can get an extra dose of style by opting to have the roof painted Gloss Black. Hyper Black 20-inch wheels are standard on the rear-drive model, while 19s are fitted to the all-wheel-drive variant. Smoked tail and headlights round out the package.
The cabin, meanwhile, gets a new trim option - Ambassador Blue. The pale, blue Nappa leather features contrasting, silver French stitching found on the seats and the door armrests.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
