Hi All,

My name is Rich and I live by the beach out in Long Island, NY. My father bought our 1965 Chrysler 300 hardtop in 1984 when my older sister was born. He and my mother needed a second car and my father always had a soft spot for the C-Bodies. The Chrysler has since been taken off daily driving duties but my mother never fails to mention how she used to parallel park the 300 every day in Queens while 8 1/2 months pregnant with me!

I was bit by the bug and have owned other C-Bodies myself, primarily a '66 Polara Convertible that recently left the stable. My father and I are currently undertaking a mild restoration on the '65 300. I'm excited to join the forum to take advantage of the resources and knowledge here.

Cheers!

Welcome to the site from the Motor City!
 
Whoa! What an awesome response! Thanks!

I've got tons more stories about the Chrysler. I grew up inside that car. I've even got the flat spot on my head from the back plate on the passenger seat to prove it!

Hopefully this pic loads. This was from around 2006, it had been in storage for about a year at this point.

The Polara was around for a little over 10 years. I bought it online in high school. I excused myself to use the bathroom during calculus so I could run to the library and place my final bid! I just sold it about a year ago. It hurt to let Rosa go, but 30+ New York/Pennsylvania winters meant that the body was too far gone.
