All good in full retirement! Will do sir! Oh, that sounds ominous lol

Hey Kevin! Good to see someone here I know.

Having grown up with a 57 300 C (still have it) And a 300 J from me being 10 years old (still have it too) And 20 year ownership of a 300 L 4 speed, The J is the most finicky but a real terror. The C is smooth power. Slow off the line but sure gets rolling at 40 mph. The L is a great cruiser...

96 hardtop and 12 convertible L 4 speeds built

Hmmm... hard to compare fresh to 50 yr old paint. But get your point. I know on my L, the old original paint is such a different green than the valve covers which have been painted in the last 20 years. My J which dad did that engine 20+ years ago, has slowly changed color over time. Weird what...

I do know the old green goes on kinda bluish and as it heat soaks does go green. The "blue blue" is correct for a '70.

Yep, early engine is "green-ish" more than the well known blue. Dupli color DE1619. Older can on the right

SS filler rod is used for TIG welding and SS wire is used for MIG. Never rusts.

Certainly a very nice car. Gee, if this went for $82.5 wonder what mine might bring lol. Less factory options than on my 4 spd L. Dual antenna definitely dealer/owner installed.

Oops... it is! Faulty keyboard lol

And we will never really know.

Oh, not that I "dislike" my L 4 speed. Just not a good driver. The gearing is awful. Know a club member that has had one since new. Clutch is too small for the weight of the beast.

Was NEVER a 4 speed J built in production. 3 speed? Rare to say the lest! I have one of the 400, 50 in Black. Dad was the J consultant for the 300 club for years as well as the chief judge.

So, NEVER a 4 spd J in production. End of discussion there. 64 was the FIRST year for the A 833 NP 4 speed trans. And yes I do have one of the 4 speed 65 L four speeds. 96 coupes and 12 convertibles.

I don't. One of the very few pics I have if my 300 other that outside pics.

Okay, soo 99% of you have no clue.

Honestly, A 300 J with a manual... would be a miserable driver. My 4 spd L is really awful in most driving situations.

Correct on the 3 speed in a J. (The pic above is my J btw) In my 50+ years around the 300's, I've NEVER seen a stick J. Dad always wanted one but never found one. My 4 spd '65 L has the shifter coming out of the center of the console.

Been away doing the work thing but now retired and starting to get back to the 300's!!

And I see on the ram K it has the California emissions package. All of crankcase breather to air cleaner housing. My 4 spd L has that option as well.
