1971 Chrysler 300 Coupe - $1,750 - Portland, Oregon

CL Description

This car has sat for many years. The roof has rust holes and the floor has a few as well. Does not currently run. It will turn over and sputter with shots of starting fluid. It has a 440 engine. Very unique car with a lot of potential.
I do not have the title, I do have a bill of sale from the original owner.

I checked on both of these vehicles with their owners.

The green one was of interest to me mostly due to it being one of my favorite colors - GJ4 green (it looks great when paint is nice and buffed to its original look). It had too many rust issues and didn't have the original engine since the one in the car was a U code and the body code plate says it should be a T code. But for the price, it was a very good deal it seemed to me.

It did sell but not to me since I already have too many of these.

The red one had even more rust issues and last I spoke with the seller, he said he was going to take the listing down and maybe try to sell it at a later time so there is a chance it might still be available.
 
It looks like this one sold to a guy who made it a plucked chicken since he took the 440 engine and trans and has left the rest to die..............................too bad since it is a GJ4 green one...........................

@T-revorNobody -- thank you for posting CS23T1C109098 ; @saforwardlook -- thank you for the update.

I like GJ4 a lot too, and can't believe that I missed this thread last year. Regardless, I agree that the rust is not good -- cue this A pillar, among other things:

Here are a few more pics for records. This car was really nicely equipped, sad to see it go:

I generally don't like skirts because they tend to make the rear ends of the cars look tail heavy and out of proportion with the rest of the car. After a few years of use, the rear leaf springs tended to lose some of their arch and just added to that imbalance to my eyes. I was told by the steering and suspension guys that they had to lower the rear ends as it was because these models tended to have a lot of axle hop on panic braking that caused longer than desired stopping distances and annoyed customers. To each his own I guess..........................
