Description

This is actually one of the first real muscle cars, a normal Chrysler; a small series was built as a superfast version with an extra heavy engine, it’s called the 300 series.

(Three Hundred or "300").
This specimen is really a very special 300 Coupé: from the first (!) Californian owner with full history and still largely with its original paint. An authentic California Blackplate!

Everything demonstrable with a clear history, many invoices and various spare parts in the original packaging.

The engine (matching numbers) has been overhauled in the past and the engine bay looks great.

Equipped with a 383 V8 Bigblock, automatic, power steering and power brakes.
The mechanics are excellent, the engine runs like a charm and the gearbox shifts perfectly, these were proper cars, and that in 1963!
A beautiful sound, beautiful whitewall tyres, an original radio, push button automatic, an angular steering wheel, beautiful details and lots of luxury.
The braking system has been completely renewed all around with new cylinders, lining and main brake cylinder.
A lot of maintenance was done recently and the bodywork has been visually restored.
So get in and drive off!

The paint is largely original and shines beautifully but is thin in places, the chrome is very beautiful and really shines.

The original interior is simply fantastic and looks exceptionally beautiful and well care for, the door cards are beautiful, the headliner is taut and everything shines, almost unbelievable it’s 60 years old!
The underside is very beautiful, neat and original, the sills are like new, it all looks very nice and healthy.
Unrestored and very original with only minor traces of use, especially for an original 60-year-old specimen!
A very special muscle car from the 1st owner since new, not tinkered with which is really unique! We bought the car from the son of the owner who bought the car new, the same family since new and everything is fully demonstrable.
There is a lot of history in the trunk and some spare parts are included as well.

It comes with a California title and import document which shows all EU import duties have been paid.

This unique 300 coupé can be viewed and/or picked up in Herkenbosch, the Netherlands.

We try to describe the cars as honestly and correctly as possible, however they are used vehicles, so there could always be something that needs attention or something that shows signs of wear, which is inherent in used items. And a drop of oil leaking is nothing out of the ordinary either.

It is recommended to come and view the vehicle prior to placing a bid in order to prevent disappointment. Please contact Catawiki to schedule an appointment.

Very good condition: minimal signs of wear
