1965 Chrysler 300 L Convertible – Rare 4-Speed 413cu / 360hp - Frank's Classic Cars
Tried to trade my 300G for this car but couldn't work out a deal. Had a board member look at it for me and it isn't bad, some evidence of previous body work but a nice driver. $80k is too much for me.
91 is the tire code for 8.15x15 Black Steel-POLICE tires. Don't usually see that on a Civi car. Tallzag's 1968 440 4spd 68 Sport Fury convertible came with G70-15 white walls.

I know of one other 4 speed 64 Chrysler 300 non-letter car, I am sure there are more out there but its pretty rare. I haven't seen any production numbers.

Tried to buy this car today but got outbid. No rust, orig owner, they sold it to the highest bidder. High bid was $13.2k. Sold new at Goodfellow Chrysler Plymouth in the U District of Seattle. Probably will need paint at some point but it presented very well. Nice example of a garaged all of its...
Unfortunately, there is no breakdown of convertible vs hardtop production numbers in 1967. 5,113 total Monaco 500s were built. Interestingly, Galen's white book doesn't even list a 318 being available. Post some pics when you get it home, Turbine Bronze is the best 67 color IMHO.
Sometime in early 1967. I've seen a couple 67s without but its rare, need to document the SPDs when I see them. Current theory was there was some firewall flex, I've seen cars with one, two, or three braces.
