    SOLD 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport w/426 Wedge

    No, unfortunately, I don't know. It was my brother's car and he has since passed away. He had many connections throughout southern California. I don't believe I've seen an invoice for the 426. I'm pretty sure he built it. It's so clean on the inside you could eat off it. 20200806_121604 by...

    SOLD 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport w/426 Wedge

    Yes, I have had it running late last year. I used a small bottle of fuel and an electric fuel pump. Mostly, the frozen brakes kept me from going farther, lol! I did not exercise the transmission in any way. I am really most interested in getting this car back into circulation with an...

    SOLD 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport w/426 Wedge

    Non-driving but complete, stored outdoors. Last driving in 1995. Power train is a 426 wedge HP with Wieland / inline dual-quad (not cross-ram) Carter AFB and Torque Flite push-button transmission. The engine runs but work to the fuel system will be needed after 25 years of non-use. Body has...

    It's been a while - looking for transport

    It runs but not moves. The Bobcat idea is about right, I think. Truck and trailer might be the answer but I will check out the recommended transporters. A friend with a Bobcat would get all the beer and pizza he and his crew could gobble. Thanks for the suggestions!

    It's been a while - looking for transport

    Howdy all Recapping my story, I started a year ago to extract my late brother's 62 300 from his back yard. I got it running (with help from here on FCBO) but the brakes were hopeless for the short term. Time has flown without much progress on the 300 since I got it running. We've moved from...

    Actually, I was answering a question the Furious70 asked. I asked no question that you answered.

    Getting to Know my 1962 Chrysler 300

    I guess so, but this was a running car with this set-up and the plugs are already fabricated. The car has been sitting in my brother's back yard for 20 years and he passed away last year. But before that he was active with the car, driving it to shows. I am just trying to come up to speed...

    Getting to Know my 1962 Chrysler 300

    Thanks, Jer, yes, 63 and 64 J and K cars. In my case the manifolds have nothing to heat since it's on the 62 inline dual quad arrangement and the crossover is blocked also. I've had ample experience warming up cars with no manifold heat here in Southern California but I'm sure it will be taken...

    Getting to Know my 1962 Chrysler 300

    I had a chance to go work on the 300 yesterday. I double checked the exhaust manifolds although I couldn't get a number off them. They are the downswept version from the 63 300J. Like these 1963 Chrysler 300 J Exhaust Manifold by Jim Harris, on Flickr Nicely tucked in but I'd guess that they...

    Thanks, Mark. I am not sure what brand wheel they are, I know that they are not original to the car. I'll have a better look when I get them off but I am still looking for its original steelies. There was another maker of the wire wheels, Motor Wheel, that supplied Chrylser Corp. Here's a HR...

    Jer, you recognize the MC from the photo? I had hoped to have a replacement on-hand when I next travel down to the car. No rebuild kits either?

    Getting to Know my 1962 Chrysler 300

    Which master cylinder should I use? I have done some internet searches and cannot determine what master cylinder or rebuild kit to use for this 1962 300 Sport with manual brakes?

    It's a Sport. The A/C is in the trunk. I am still looking for the original wheels, I agree that they would look better. We're looking for a buyer.

    Our 1962 Chrysler 300 was my brother's car until his untimely passing in 2019. I am helping my niece manage his estate and resurrect the 7 non-running cars on his property. In happier times my brother showed his 300, along with his 1967 Hemi Satellite and 1966 Valiant Signet Commando at...

    I will record the numbers but it will be a couple of weeks before I can get back down there.

    Getting to Know my 1962 Chrysler 300

    The exhaust manifolds appear to have the attach points for the heat stoves for the long tube ram. If there's anything I would change about the engine bay it would probably be to get some proper exhaust manifolds. I am tempted to keep the car but we could use the money to help with refurbishing...
