Thank you!!

Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I live in California and have loved anything Mopar since before I could drive. I found this forum while searching for information about a 1970 300H Hemi Convertible. I found an interesting thread about it and read how some people wonder if it actually exists. Well, I'm 95% sure I found that car. The current owner inherited the car from his grandfather who bought it at auction from the Guy Reed Collection on June 4, 1995. It's been locked up ever since. It's in great shape and I just heard it run the other day. It's a beast!!

Thank you! No, I think he's wavering toward selling it, but I doubt I could afford it.

Here's a link to the vehicle profile he just posted on Blufaro Registry: Blufaro Registry | Every Vehicle has a Story

Thanks for the link. Great to see a hemi in a c-body!

Small note about the linked description: 300 Hurst is not a 300H. A 300H is a 1962 Chrysler 300 performance model.

Welcome @InTheTube

Thanks to you, we now know about CM27T0C170864 — which must have started its life as a regular 440 300 ´vert.

Indeed, the fender tag shows as much. Here are photos for records.

Looping in the 300 ‘vert specialists — @Trace 300 Hurst @Samplingman @marko @boostedvan @Big_John @fc7_plumcrazy among others

Looking at that website, I see another — TNT ! — 1970 Chrysler 300 but it ain’t a ´vert. CM23UOC220584 is a 300 Hurst — @marko @boostedvan @Samplingman

@InTheTube -- the link you provided keeps giving. Note not one but TWO 1970 Chrysler 300 'verts in Dr. Reed's collection: Blufaro Registry | Every Vehicle has a Story

Here is CM27T0C170864, at the top left of the auction page (AFAICT, it was at the 23rd Leake Auction and took place in Oklahoma City, OK back in 1995):

And here is another 300 'vert at that same auction. It looks like an EW1 white T-code (bottom left of the auction page):

Thank you Ayilar, I've had a lot of fun researching these cars. I know for sure, my friend is going to sell the '70 300 Hurst Hardtop.

Contrary to the popular belief, the 1970 Chrysler 300/H was the model name of the car, commonly called today, the 300-Hurst.

All of the factory literature states as such, 1970 Chrysler 300-H, of course the “H” is for Hurst.

There is a 1962 300H and a 1970 300-H.

Not splitting hairs here, this is just what Chrysler did.

I'll split a few hairs for ya.....

So 300-H (insert correct graphic font). It is. And called a letter car…..

I like the documentation and Marketing’s liberty to call it what they like in order to promote it regardless of what the manufacturing or engineering types may have thought at the time.

Excellent. I now know the difference between a 300H and a 300-H!

Will I remember 6 months from now? Hmmm. Well, it's still fun now. Thanks!
