Beautifully restored, 1961 Chrysler 300G Convertible finished in Marti Gras Red over Tan Leather interior with White convertible soft top! Powered by its original, code correct 413ci High-Performance Ram Induction V8 and pushbutton 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Options are abundant to include Astradome instrumentation panel with electroluminescent lighting, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top & windows, power driver seat, swivel seats, remote outside mirror, Jiffy Jet windshield washer, Golden Tone pushbutton AM radio, pushbutton heat/defrost controls, Remington L78-15 4-ply polyester wide whitewall tires, full chrome wheel disc covers, Sparton horns, and reverse lights! The 300G is the second production year utilizing a unibody chassis design providing an incredibly rigid foundation for a solid sports car feel! In total, Chrysler would produce 1,617 300G vehicles, or which only 337 would be in convertible form. Carries option code 387 on its build sheet referring to a closed crankcase ventilation system, so it would have been sold in California when new. Shown often by previous owners, earning dozens of awards at regional shows surrounding his home in Ventura, California, adding nearly 20,000 miles to the car over 32 years. In 2006/2007, he elected to have a complete overhaul of the entire drivetrain to freshen internals and replaced all seals and gaskets. This included all ancillary components like the water pump, re-cored radiator, new belts, ignition components, and rebuilding the carburetors as well. It continues to run and operate greatly!
