I was lucky to be a passenger in a 300L many years ago, to this day, that was the quietest and smoothest car I've ever been in, better than the '73 Imperial. If the non-letter 300s are as good then this car represents good value and it's so clean!

Having owned both non-letter and a Letter of the 65s at he same time, IMHO there's not a tremendous difference between them, in any category. Granted, when they are 40-50 years old the maintenance and condition becomes more of a factor, but my 2 felt similar. . From what I read in road tests of the L, car 'experts' back in the day didn't rave about the L. A fabulous car, don't get me wrong, but it didn't do justice to its Letter heritage. Probably part of the reason why the series died in 65.

Ironically, when I bought the L my speedo was slow, so I presumed someone had swapped 2.76 gears in. So I get a 3.23SG, and look forward to a performance increase, and the gears that come out are stamped 3.23. So much for 360hp! (but mine has AC, PW, PVent, Pseat, so it's not lightweight)

Oh, and FWIW, the ratty 66 Nupe I had is a contender for the smoothest-riding C I've had - I suspect due mostly to the padding in the seat. And the best seat I've had: 88 Dippy copcar - 4-6 " of solid foam, baby!

Seller says, "The interior is 100% original." What about that after-market AC?
