rare bird if the flr shift is factory

The ad says the dealer is in Meadville, Pennsylvania? Are you going to look at it Mark?

 

[mdh157]

no...it is 4.5 hours away, and this dealers cars do not seem to be anything special...he's also got a 65 polara rag, 64 880 rag and another mopar rag, but they all need work. that shifter boot does not look like the real deal to me. Although I'd love to have a manual C rag, i'm not a big fan of the body styles of these years.

My boy is finding some interesting stuff, but nothing worth chasing, IMO.........my zest for the search is gone.

I just requested information about the car. Likely a 383 2bbl 3 sp. Very rare.

I love these 64 300 non letter cars. I drove one for 3 years in the early 2000's and should have kept it. It's still around and can be had..... Just can't keep them all.

your buying another one Will? Must be nice. the only way I'd consider this car was if it were the orig drivetrain and virtually rust/bondo free

No Mark...... Just looking for information on a rare car. I agree it would need to be mostly original and pretty nice to be worth that amount. I keep surpressing the urge to go make a deal on my old 64 300 convertible, I really liked that car.

 

[mdh157]

rare indeed.......and look, manual brakes too. I'd love to know if that is a 383 or 413, but the eng pic does not show the area where the flat pad is by the distributor.

i supp it is a 383, looks like one of the lowest optioned ever made, no pwr options, looks like ps and that's it. Prob special ordered.

*****EDIT: i just found info that says if it's a 3 spd manual it can only be a 383.

Everyone is missing the part about it having a/c.

AC is not often necessary up here (although it was useful during last yrs Chrysler Nationals).

this car is a true plain jane

 

[commando1]

My point was that it's ultra rare to have that combo. I bet it's a 1 of 1.

[mdh157]

quite possible..........max, one of a few. How often do you see one with manual brakes? of course, it's got that sickening blk interior

Break everything down enough you'll get one of one

 

[detmatt]

Especially these obscure C's, that one is easily 1 of 1. And it's an oddity that I'd like to have for about $3,000.

Literally...yes.
But there's sellerspeak "1 of 1's" and there's genuine interesting "1 of 1's".
This is the latter.

This car even comes with a warranty.

64 3 sp MANUAL

Here is what an original 3 sp manual shifter in a 64 Chrysler looks like....

The convertible has a different knob and boot but the shift lever and floor configuration looks right.

It has the pedal dress up trim also.... Not to sure about that.

Could it be Pointy Mooshon 4 speed?

I think they were 1960 only, 64 was the first year for the 833 4sp in a Chrysler. Still very rare.

You nailed it. You intrigued me so much that I googled it. Yep. '60 only.
Did find something interesting though. A '60 4 speed with console:
