Met my future ‘62 Chrysler!

[Isaiah Estrada]

I just happened to be in this car’s neck of the woods. As many of you know, my 68 and the wedding are my priorities - and the owner of this car knows it well! I am still however, saving up money on the side for this car as I DO plan on buying it eventually. Possibly mid 2023. Hadn’t seen many pics so I didn’t know what to expect! I was PLEASANTLY surprised!!

She’s a 300 sport, few options but it does have the big 413.

Mechanically could use some TLC! A carburetor in rebuild is in order as well as a cap, rotor, spark plugs & wires etc + tune up for her to run nicely. It’s been sitting for a LONG time so the start up was a bit smokey but after a while it mellowed out. It runs very quiet and the motor builds strong oil pressure!

The future wife says we NEED this car. She’s a keeper!

I felt right at home in this gorgeous ride!

Here are some more pics

One way or another, this car will be MINE!

The car had been sitting for about 3 months. Last time it was started was during a FaceTime call between myself and it’s owner!

Hell yeah! How long until you open Isaiah's Customs?

Looks like a nice Chrysler!
Do you pinch yourself every morning to make sure you’re living the dream and not just dreaming?

Yep, your fiancee NEEDS that car! That's how you know you found a keeper (with the car and girl).

Thanks my man!!! Shoooot, that wouldn’t be a bad idea … Lol - not a bad name either! My hometown used to be called Central City - Central City Kustoms has a nice ring to it hehe

I had to do it a few times yesterday!!!! Felt unreal. First old Mopar I’ve got to interact with besides my 68. Also the first one I’ve actually even fired up myself. Felt so good!

Definitely!!! She said she already misses it LOL

I would recommend that you join the Chrysler 300 Club, International, Inc. There are folks on that site that are adept at decoding those.

That 300 is in really nice shape for being an original car or has it been restored some? It looks like the cross grille emblem is not an original one. I believe the club might have reproduction ones available if you want to change that. I love seeing the original California plates on it too. It must have an interesting background. I too have one that looks almost identical.......................

If you are ever in the Southern California area, you should come by for a visit.

Congratulations on all that is going on with you!
