What would you do for a Klondike bar? Would you rush to the Klondike in search of gold? What about purchasing a 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst? This pure, rare metal automobile has a clean title, original build sheet, and just over 48,000 miles on it. If you think $53,500 is worth its weight, then you should invest now. There were roughly 501 of these special white and gold cars built. Thank you Pat L for submitting the tip on this car. You can view it here on Craigslist.

This machine has a heart of gold with its 440 cubic inch, 4 barrel V8 producing 375 horsepower. The 3-speed automatic transmission with 480 foot-pounds of torque can get this 4,354-pound car up to 135 miles an hour. How fast can it get to that speed? Well, the 0-60 time is 7.3 seconds, so if you have preferences like Goldilocks, that time is just right. The hood has fiberglass hood skin and a non-functioning hood scoop, which was part of the Hurst package.

The interior is a plushy, satin tan leather, taken directly from the Chrysler Imperial. There were two options for shifter locations, column and console. This example has the console shifter. Oddly enough, the cars were not fitted with Hurst shifter upgrades. The Hurst package was primarily cosmetic enhancements. Due to one of those enhancements, a new decklid, this car has a nifty party. The trunk is released by a remote button in the glove box.

Associating the Chrysler nameplate to Hurst was not advertised very well back in 1970. Both companies thought the other would do the marketing, so neither did. Ironically, this car is listed on the Los Angeles Craigslist, but the map and phone number indicate that it is located in Missouri. The seller also copied and pasted the Wikipedia section about the 300 Hurst as the description of the car. So…just be sure to clarify where the car is before committing to go see it.
