I am offering up this EV2 Hemi Orange 300 convertible for sale.
I bought it mostly to save it from oblivion about 5 years ago, even though I am not so much of a convertible guy. I have never seen another one, nor am I aware of any other one in existence either. But this is a factory EV2 coded car as seen from the fender tag. I was able to get a good bit of the history and was able to track down at least the second and third owners and have a few photos from the second owner as well. The history is that this car was purchased by a Chrysler Dealership owner for his wife and when the second eventual owner saw it in the service department one day, he asked if he could buy it and the dealer sold it to him. He took excellent care of the car. And the third owner seemed to do it right as well, but after that, someone did not take care of it and it ended up stored in a field in Virginia for some time (I believe it was taken off the road in 1994).
This car was advertised as needing restoration when I bought it but the seller did not disclose the level of underbody rust on the car, which is significant. The outer panels on the car are actually mostly rust free and much of the paint, except for the primer spots, is original, and in using my coating thickness meter, there is no bondo on the car except for a little in the driver side quarter where there were some dents and a poor effort to repair one around the rear wheel opening. But the underside shows it needs a new stub frame, the rear leaf spring front hanger is pretty rusted and the rear floor pan and the trunk pan also need rust repair. I have shown some photos of the underside.
This is a really loaded car with virtually every option you could get including power vent windows, 8 track stereo radio, power windows, seat and much more. It has the standard 440, but it is stuck. The car is pretty complete, and I have the original door/side interior panels in storage as well.
I would like to see this one saved but I am not going to be the one doing it because I have too many other projects ahead of it and I am getting up in age now (68) so I have to thin the herd out a bit. I also have a 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible that was an original 440HP car that I could also sell with this car to be used for parts, as it is a California pretty rust free car that would be ideal for use with this one (it is mostly a rolling shell with the driveline gone when I got it). Let me know if any of you has any interest in buying it. I can send you more photos if you are seriously interested.

, as I just want it saved), I will be forced to restore it myself and have to live another year longer!
Even the parts car makes me drool! Wish I could get to CA and pick these up!
