The car pictured is mine. It has no P.S., P.B. and no side rear view mirrors. It does have the following options,413 , three speed manual floor shift, sure grip rear end, leather interior w/black cloth inserts and AM radio. I did get the build card from Chrysler last year to confirm options. Plus, I was interested if it had a white convertible top and it did. The factory dealer promotional models were a black roof on a red car w/black seat inserts.

There is no official numbers available from Chrysler for this year. In my Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine I just recieved it has a '60 Chrysler 300F convert. with the French 4 speed they had in '60 and '61. There is only speculation on the '60 production of 6-15 cars. Now factor in how many are left out there. For my '62 I have never seen a column shift Chrysler 300 out there.

Nice car Sir. Super cool!!!
Is there a car you have in mind that fits this description? Just manual brakes and steering would do.

i just missed out on a '64 300 4 door, factory 4 speed. Dunno how many made but only the second 64 i have ever seen. the other one was a ragtop. there is also a 70 newport rag out there with 3 on tree and iirc manual steering. have found a few super rare 68 Ambassadors in my time too. unfortunately still looking for another that i should have given up on long ago.
Sometimes the only way to get some of these is to save your $$ and offer the current owner a ridic amount for it. that 64 300 was practically stolen by some lucky dog.

Sorry, but I don’t. I was referring to post #8.

No such thing as a column shift for any 1962 Chrysler. (Or Dodge 880.) No room for a column shifter with that instrument cluster on the Chrysler. Thus all manual transmission 1962 Chryslers came with a floor shifter. Newport and 300 models mated a 3 speed manual transmission with floor shift as standard equipment.
I would venture that sunroof cars in general, and Newports in particular, are rare. The FQ5 that @saforwardlook and I teamed up to get last November is the only 1971 sunroof Newport that I know to still exist.
Not in the sunroof registry ………..!!??
It will be soon, as I sent Scott the photos he needed and the body code plate. It will show up soon.
