For sale 1965 Chrysler convertible 300L, only 400 made. Needs Complete restoration. Some parts and materials are included. Inherited car when my dad passed, He began restoring unfortunately couldn't finish. Asking 6500 restored its worth 30k

I like it, but unfortunately, it's gonna take $60,000 to make this one worth $30,000.

 

[67-Fury]

I like it but not at 6600.

 

[Fratzog]

Around 3K might be more reasonable.

Hey Scott do you want to do it again?

Perfect stablemate for Scott ( rexus31 ). We know he can do it.

edit - dammit Chris.

So, you guys aren't liking it for $6500, eh? The jury is still out with me on this one. No mention of drive train condition or any rust issues. Omission on drive train is likely a good indicator that it is either in poor working order or incomplete. If it were good, that'd be a selling point the seller would mention. I guess everything adds up fast on these ($$$).

I like this one, though. Not sure I'd she'll out $6500 for it either. Would definately need more info.

Scott says:
Someone needs to save that. I've restored worse.

 

[Wollfen]

I don't like the tip of the front bumpers. So I'm passing on it.

But it's Mauve...

If Scott bought it, it would end up being the best example of a 65 300 L along with the best example of his 65 300, and he could join the lettered 300 club.

Wow...that looks eerily familiar to what I started with. I agree with most, the $6K+ asking price is aggressive, especially without mention if it has the original drivetrain. That car can be restored for $30K, maybe more depending on what interior came with the car. If leather, more than $30K. It looks to be the same color combo as mine as the white seat covers aren't original. Thanks for the suggestions guys, but if I told my wife I'm buying that car to restore I'd probably have to live in it. Ether that or sell one of my other cars and I don't want to sell the Goat and my 300 gets the nod over this one because mine has power vents. s_dancing2:

Love the power vents!

 

[commando1]

There were power vents?

You must have been sleeping in class the day we did this in his build thread. But then again, it wasn't just yesterday.

It uses the same motors as the GM cars and they aren't cheap. One of mine didn't work so I had to bite the bullet on a replacement.
