CM27T0C247921 went up for sale on FB in Ohio yesterday. From the ad:

"1970 Chrysler 300 convertible, matching 440 and trans, interior, top, boot and chrome all original. Build sheet, window sticker and original special order sheet. Ownership history to new along with a book of recpts. No rust ever. Some repaint which I would call amatuer. Awesome driver."

These two photos look familiar. I’m almost certain the same car was for sale in Red Deer, Alberta some years ago.

Beautiful car, anyhow.

Indeed. I almost bought the car in 2018: the long-time Canadian owner and I agreed on the price, but we could not make the logistics work.

I am not on FB (I only access the public pages on FB Marketplace), and do not have the seller's contact info. Sorry!

Here are a few more photos that the seller posted on FB. @69CoronetRT and @cuda hunter should be delighted to see the fender tag, build sheet, order sheet and window sticker:

Too bad about the cracked windshield and lack of AC.

 

[ceebuddy]

I wonder if it sold already.

 

[330dTA]

Well so it says in the eBay ad, and I don't wonder. It was gorgeous.

It is now listed on Auto Trader by a dealer in NY for close to $45k.

 

[fury fan]

Yeah, good luck with that asking price.
They're also asking near-$30k for a 63 Chrysler 300 non-letter, and $29k for a mid-80s Monte Carlo SS.
Regardless of how nice, none of these 3 cars are worth anywhere near that.

CM27T0C247921 is "upcoming" on AutoTrader. The asking price is now $44,970. Jeez, if I'd bought this 300 in 2018, then on paper I would have almost tripled my investment.

CM27T0C247921 is now listed by Joe Basil Chevrolet of that asking price. Lots of high-res pics. Included here are the build sheet, window sticker, anonymized invoice, and CT 1993 inspection card (consistent with the story I got when I almost bought this car a few years ago from the 4th owner).

Drum brakes in front?

 

[fury fan]

Yes, it has drum brakes.

Seems like it has a new windshield sometime recently? Didn't this one have a cracked one when sold previously?

Car is now definitely benefitting from a significant buffing and much better pictures.
Whether the public is offering better money for it (vs the prior $27k asking price) is unknown.
I would say this latest top bid is pretty fair for this car.
