15-1965 Chrysler 300L Hardtop | Tom Mack Classics

I noticed this car up for auction when perusing the site when I was checking out the Flying Whale for sale thread.

It look a little cleanup and some elbow grease and it would make a great driver.

Reportedly, 1 of 98 Chrysler 300’s produced in 1965 with a 4 Speed
Transmission.

Is that true?

 

[69monaco]

I believe that,s correct , and 14 convertibles......

 

[cm23uoc]

A good amount of Forward Look Station wagons for sale as well.

 

[MarPar]

Fresh outta da barn. Interior looks like in decent shape too.

 

[69monaco]

Could you choose for different shifters at that time.?
Seen a few straight hurst shifters but can,t remember a bend one for a 65 300L...

Is that "L"s only or...??? That might be where my appraiser got his info, as he said there were 15 4-speed convertibles. I am sure he was mistaken, and that number was not for the run of the mill 300, like mine.

 

[live4theking]

I could get a long with that for a ride.

My '65 Monaco has the same shifter (see avatar)

And it's the shifter handle I've been looking for for a whole lotta years. Not common at all.

Not sure if it means anything or not,my car is a very early production model. Maybe the shifter got changed out of the assembly line after production began?? My sequence number is 10031. It also has these "brackets" welded on the lower door jambs(only driver side is shown in my pics)for possibly some kind of hinge cover that never saw production? These are not on later cars that I know of.

Jeezes, Peter, I knew your car was rare, but I had no idea they were that rare.

 

[saforwardlook]

I would much rather have this one in the auction as well. Nothing wrong with a Torqueflite and A/C too.

I think 300 rag's car is a non letter car; I'm pretty sure as well that the 14 or 15 car production number only includes the letter cars.

Breaking them down by options again

More proof that you should never photograph a slab without the skirts on, I mean there right there in the trunk man!
