Arlo was my future father in law in 1973. He gave me this 67 300 after his sons managed to have a fender bender with it. The right quarter was hit severely right behind the door. He was told it was a promotional car used by Good Year Tires, he had acquired it from his friend in the Chicago area. I was thrilled to have a 6 year old 300 at age 20! I was just starting in the body shop trade so it was my intention to repair the quarter but that zebra paint job did not especially appeal to me. How would I ever duplicate those stripes plus rust was creeping out in all the usual places at only six years old from all that Chicago salt!. I decided to let it go and sold it to a young canning factory worker for around $400! Several months latter a blur of zebra stripes passed me at speed! There was no mistaking that it was my 300! To this day all most 50 years latter I still have a week spot for 67 300s, love those tail lights and prowl front end. Now I know how significant that paint job was. It leading to Chrysler offering their mod tops in 1969! If Id only known better I would have repaired the damage, spotted in the zebra stripes and still be enjoying a truly beautiful beast of a 300!
