Not Mine, but have contacted the dealer for information.
$14,900

On the way back to Fargo from Mid West Mopar's in the Park, I spied a 66 Chrysler 300 2dr. It was on The Albany MN, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler car lot. I first saw it last weekend when I drove by. I did text the dealer for more information as I did not see it on their website.
It is the Dealer's Owners car that he purchased from a customer. He will sell it.
He would like to get $14,900 out of it.
Jon was the salesman I have been texting with and has given me the basics even though I told him I was not a buyer at this point. His contact is 320-290-2490

I have not received any fender tag or option info at this point.
Below is my opinion from a 5 minute stop while I was eating a Blizzard.
It is a 66 Chrysler 300 in what looks to be very original condition. From the 5 minute inspection it looked very rust free and totally original paint. The odometer had about 44,000 miles on it. Which based on the lack of seat wear could be real. It had new single exhaust ( I can’t imagine that it could be original). Besides a couple of rock chips and a paint cracking spot on the top of the roof I wouldn’t touch a thing. I couldn’t see the engine, but a 300 w/ single exhaust I am assuming a 383 2 bbl.

What’s the std engine in a 66- 300? I am not that familiar with th 66 options or 300’s. All I know for sure is it had single exhaust which I would expect only on 2bbl ( at least in 68) and I didn’t think the 318 was an option in the 300’s. But again I have been living in 68 mainly focused on Dodge.
 
Great looking car. The standard engine on these was a 383 4-bbl with single exhaust. Optional was the 440 "TNT" engine which came with the dual-snorkle air cleaner and dual exhaust.
 
Thanks I wasn’t aware that you could get single exhaust with 383 4 bbl
 
Not to nit pick but those side view mirrors don't look right.
 
I agree about the side mirrors but if that's the only problem, I'd deal with it. Now the only problem I have is to come up with a bunch of money I don't have. :thumbsup:
 
Ford mirrors.
My questions are
1.) (for entertainment purposes) To what end?
2.) How likely is it that they had to modify the mounting holes in the doors to accommodate those?
 
Answers to your questions.
1. Because he can!
2. Probably very likely.
Valid points. However, finding the correct mirror being an equal amount of work to drilling new holes to accommodate for the incorrect mirror I just kind of see as a wash.
That's just me.. but.

Unless the original holes have been filled, this shouldn't be a big player at all, if not moot.
 
It wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility that one of the previous owners swapped out the 4bbl for a 2bbl thinking better fuel economy......
 
Hard to say the PO had little to no info about the car and there is no fender tag :(
