1960 Chrysler 300F Coupe VIN: 8403126310 Up for sale is an original 1960 California Black Plate Chrysler 300F. The car was stored in an open field for the past 6 years. It was covered, but developed some rust along the way. It is virtually complete, with all trim parts, engine, transmission, and rear end all intact. There won’t be a laundry list of parts to chase with this car! The only parts that are known to be missing are the radiator cap and the driveshaft. This vehicle should be considered as a deteriorated restoration project. The VIN indicates the car was built in January, 1960. The date code on the block shows that the motor was made on January 22nd, 1960. The VIN also indicates that the original color is white and presumed to be original paint. This car was an unknown vehicle to the Chrysler 300 Club International until they were recently contacted. The VIN and Trim Plate have been submitted to the club for a new “Birthing”. I expect to hear back from the association shortly, confirming the validity of the car. According to the Chrysler 300 Club website, there were 964 Coupes produced in 1960 and only 270 known survivors to date. This car makes #271! This is a clear CA title (non-op), however, it was last registered for street use in 1974. This car does not run. Mileage as shown on the odometer reads 23,796 miles. The engine is the coveted 413 Wedge with the Cross Ram intakes and dual four barrel carburetors. All of the Cross Ram linkage is in place. If you are looking for a Virgil Exner fin car to restore, this may be one of the last available cars to buy. The car is definitely restorable, with normal California rust, and a few areas’ that should not have rust but do exhibit areas of rust such as on the C-Pillar. This was primarily due to the last owner not properly caring for the car. My son and I were determined to restore this vehicle, but plans have changed and we have too many project cars. We can accommodate virtually any type of carrier or transportation needs. We even have a dock high loading dock to facilitate a container for overseas transport. Please note buyer assumes all costs for transportation, however, we will (within reason) assist with the loading of the vehicle, if necessary. The car is located less than 50 miles from either the San Francisco or Oakland ports for overseas freight. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of history on the car, but if you have specific questions regarding condition, etc. please feel free to contact us. Serious parties interested in seeing this car in person may do so by scheduling an appointment. The car is being stored in our San Jose, CA warehouse. This vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is. This will be a no reserve auction, please bid accordingly. We have additional photos (about 100 total) that will be provided upon request. Good Luck to all Bidders! Here is your chance to own a rare piece of automobile history.
