Great candidate for a drive and enjoy while you restore it!

Man, nice car for the money. I'm looking for a project 66 300 vert with a 4 speed. Probably never find one, but that's ok too. I have to say I LOVE the dash on these.

Correct me if I'm worng, but I don't think yer gonna find a 66 Chrysler 300 with a four-speed. They were all automatics. . .

 

[stubs300]

4 speeds were a option in 66.

I have never seen one. . . A '65 yes.

CORRECTION: It appears that you could order a 3-speed manual in a '66 300, but I've never seen one of those either. . . There is no reference in the '66 FSM to a four-speed transmission.

Well, good to know. I had seen one rusted out 4 speed, so it must have been a 65. I liked the grills on the 66 in particular. But to be honest, even finding any 4 speed 300 (even a 65) would be uncommon.

I agree. The '65-6 dashes in Chrysler were great! My parents bought a '65 Newport new - have loved it since!

I have sat in a '65 L 4-speed that was for sale in Hemmings; I saw it at one of the Flings in Van Nuys. Car was for sale for $7,500. To this day I kick myself for not finding some way to buy that car!

Depending on how long ago, and the car's condition, I'd kick you, too, Snotty.

I heard/read somewhere that the 65-66 Chrysler dash board was either the largest die-cast component ever done in a car, or the largest Chrysler had ever done. (or something like that). For those of us that have removed one (I'm on that list) we can attest that it is a heavy son-of-a-*****.

 

[LatPeahy]

Agreed. I don't have that wheel on the 66 Newport anymore, back to original but these are definitely my favorite dashes and yeah they are heavy SOBs

 

[fury fan]

A Nupe with power windows? Kinda unusual.

 

[Fratzog]

Looks like a solid project at a reasonable price. First thing that should go are the side pipes.

 

[LatPeahy]

Was the 2 bar steering wheel factory in 66?

 

[bluefury361]

A lot of potential there.

 

[Mr C]

Was the 2 bar steering wheel factory in 66?

Yes with tilt-a-scope option.

 

[LatPeahy]

That's cool. Wish my 66 had that option
