Craigslist Ad

1963 chrysler 300 sport with a 383 big block and a 3 speed manual trans on the floor. This car is a good daily driver. No rust, new battery, new brakes, new master, new starter, new carpet. Runs and drives good all gauges work. Very rare car with a 3 speed on the floor most were automatic, body and paint are older but look great. Chrome and stainlessin good shape all the glass good needs headliner but just bought a new one for the 300 not yet installed,it also has the cool dash and instrument cluster. $9500 obo

That would be a '62.

Man those slot mags look trashy on there... I know every old car seemingly needs mags these days (heaven forbid we represent stock), but that's quite possibly the worst choice for a 300.

I think those wheels look great, and it's a '62.

Pretty rare, stick, manual steering and brakes. Tough to muscle around today!

FWIW I love the slots.
That's a pretty cool car

Three on the floor, four door 300 hardtop.
I think you could count on just your fingers on how many were built.
I love it.

For me that's right down Folsom Blvd. a few miles down the street.
Stop by if you come up the highway.

I've driven a 4 speeds (Beetles, Chevettes, etc) and 5 speeds (VW's mostly).

How does the 3 speed compare to those?

Two less gears.

All of the cars you mention are underpowered 4 bangers; they need two to three more gears. With a V8, or even a /6, three-speeds are fine.

For the first time since 2014, I am not going to Hot August Nights this week. Could have stopped by.
