1960 Chrysler 300F Exceptional 300F with true special order "888" trim code interior. Full restoration using all NOS parts about 10 years ago and still shows and performs wondefully. A personal inspection is welcomed to see this spectacular car.. Of the multi-year Chrysler 300 series run collectors consider the 1960 300-F as the best and most collectible year. After 1960 the body adopted the less attractive slanted headlights & odd tail fin treatment. 1960 instruduced the beautiful Astra-Dome instrument panel, ram induction manifolds and new attractive interiors. The sixth edition of the letter series 300 continued its tradition as a high-performance vehicle. Besides the all-new styling and Unibody construction, big improvements in engineering were evident with the unveiling of a Ram Induction manifold option. Ram-tuning had long been a means of raising torque and horsepower for drag racing. Chrysler engineers adapted this idea, with cross-over ram induction manifolds which placed one bank of cylinders carburetor on the far side of the opposing bank of cylinders. No longer were the carburetors placed inline, between the cylinder heads, as on previous dual carbureted 300s. Two horsepower versions were available in 1960 (see engine section) and a few cars were built with the French Pont-A-Mousson four-speed gear boxes. All New Yorker standard features were included on the 30OF plus power swivel seats. White sidewall Nylon tires were standard. 300F Series engine is a V8 Cast iron block. Overhead valves.
