That's all I have.
I am good with my mechanical skills. I would really have brush up on my welding and body skills. I could see good paint and body work on this easily above $20K. I am about 2 years from retirement so would have some time on my hands to learn. First I would need to spend another $20k to add on to my garage. :lol:

Still less than a new boat.

I wonder if that Nupe has a 315hp engine with single exh, or the 325hp version, which would have the smaller unsilenced air cleaner.
 
Hello, what a great thread. My contribution is my 1964 Chrysler 300 Sport, 413 4 speed. The dealer on the window sticker (East Colfax Chrysler) is not the dealer it was sold at. Original owner, Alfonzo, traded his 54(?) Chrysler in on it at a different dealer (Farland-Buell Chrysler) on Halloween '63. It was in the front window when his nephew saw it and told him "you need to go look". It was his daily driver until the mid 90's.
I would love to know anyone's thoughts on whether it was dealer ordered and sent to the wrong dealer, a personal order not taken, did Chrysler build it and dump it? The selling dealer was known as a performance dealer and had a Ferrari/specialty dealership as well.
I would also love to know if there might be production numbers on such a beast. I've read several times that 68 "K's" were 4 speeds (50 hardtops and 18 convertibles), but no one seems to have info on "lesser" cars.
I hope to do a frame off restoration someday and am still looking for a few items, mainly:
A nice, restorable steering wheel, nice dash pad, any NOS pot metal (I have some bits), spectacular red door/side panels (mine are restorable, but...and don't talk to me about SMS), NOS weatherstripping (does repro exist?), Trunk mat and cardboard sides (repro's?), exhaust hangers, mufflers.
Thank you for your time and interest, Geoff

Hello and thank you. It did survive pretty well, Al loved it and cared for it as best as possible. Cars also survive pretty well here in Colorado.
Yes, it's all my junk. The visible ones are a 63 Catalina 421H.O. 3x2 4 speed, a 66 2+2 4bbl 4 speed and a 62 Galaxie converted to a 390 4 speed from a 292 auto (it's for sale....). I have several other cars, all full size and mainly 4 speeds. I grew up in dads 66 Impala SS 396 4 speed, which is still in his garage, and that wrecked me on my likes. I love all cars, really, but it needs to be a full sized 4 speed anything to stay. There's a couple auto's in there, only because they have to be.
I have never heard of 4 speed Bernie. I will check him out, thanks!
 
I know of one other 4 speed 64 Chrysler 300 non-letter car, I am sure there are more out there but its pretty rare. I haven't seen any production numbers.
On your dealer question, it was probably a dealer trade. The 1st dealer probably couldn't sell it so they traded to another dealer.

Dealers trade cars between themselves. Dealer "A" has a sale but not the car. Dealer "B" has the car. The two dealers will agree to a mutually beneficial swap.
 
Hello, thanks for the interest. That's a cool article and I know of that shop. I have 2 friends who know the family but they never seem to bring up this topic for me...
I have seen 2 other 4 speed sports online, a black 383 4 door, and a green(?) convertible, also a 383. But that's as much as my pee brain can find.
I'm sure it was a dealer trade, but it was built in early October, so it didn't have too much time to linger at the first dealer, and who/how was it ordered? It's a pretty distinct order (413 over 383, black and red, not a letter car), doesn't seem like an accident.
Anyhow, thank you.
 
This unrestored '66 was offered for sale a few years ago, equippet with a 383ci:
