NOT MINE 1965 Chrysler 300L 2dr $25,000

[coco]

FB so no pics from me ! Forgive my ignorance but I assume a manual version of this car is rare ? hence the price, or is it just the 300L tag ?

1965 Chrysler 300 · 300L

No trades, cash only I got it for the summer, it needed a new fuel tank and sending unit.. Needs minor things, otherwise it can be daily driven

I assume the fuel tank and sender were fixed? I don't know how many L's had the four speed but they come up from time to time.

Think it was 108.

Dig those vintage Shasta trailers in the background, my winter project this year is a 70 Rambler trailer to go with my 67 Newport.

They match the house too!

I really like the car. There's a few things, like the front seats, that need attention. Wrong color engine too. The magazine article, assuming it is this car, shows it to be an ex-Don Rook car. If it is, it's put on 30K miles since 2001.

I think the $25k is a decent price. You might get it cheaper. I'm not in the market myself, I would look into this one if I was.

I used to own this car. Is pretty crusty underneath and has some rust in the drivers rocker. Legit 67k orig miles though.

Ironically, some years ago I got tasked to drive a 65 or 66 GTO 4-speed home from a car show to the owner's house.
During the drive I was constantly comparing it to my 65 SF 4-speed, and not being impressed by the GTO.
I babied the GTO most of the way and found it not very pleasant to drive. It didn't drive as well and the seating/brake pedal were not as good.

About a mile from the destination, I decided to open it up a and see what it had (but still being respectful that it was not my car).
At perhaps 3000rpm, it became a completely different car - obviously happier to be driven that way, and noticeably faster than my Fury (389 tri-power vs 383-4).

But for general driving, which is 95% of what we do, the Fury is a vastly smoother and more comfortable car to drive. A much more-refined car.
As smooth as a 727? It'll always be different, but smoothness depends on how you drive it.

I suspected this car was the one you sold some time ago.
