CHRYSLER 300K, NUMBERS MATCHING COUPE

FOR SALE IS A RARE 1964 CHRYSLER 300K 2 DOOR COUPE. THIS IS AN INTERESTING CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A TRUE METAL BUILDING OR BARN FIND AS MANY CALL IT. THE 2ND OWNER DEVELOPED MEDICAL ISSUES AND LITERALLY DROVE THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AND TURNED OFF THE KEY. WE PULLED IT OUT OF THE SHOP 19 (YES 19) YEARS LATER! IT WAS DIRTY. HAD FLAT TIRES. HAD A DEAD BATTERY. AND LOOKED LIKE A RED HEADED STEP CHILD LEFT BEHIND FOR A NEW FORD PICKUP!  THOSE OF US THAT HAVE TRAINED EYES AND A GOOD DEAL OF TIME ON OUR HANDS CAN GENERALLY DO THE CATHARTIC TINKERING AND "VOILA" YOU GET WHAT YOU SEE HERE. A VERY NICE UNMOLESTED. NEVER HAD AN INCIDENT. 413 4 BARREL TORQUE MONSTER THAT RIDES LIKE A GIANT MARSHMALLOW.                                      THE EARLY CHRYSLER LETTER CARS ARE VERY POPULAR. THE 64 MODEL WAS DESIGNED BY VIRGIL EXNER AND DESIRED BY MANY. THE 64 K MODEL SET SALES RECORDS DUE TO THEIR HIGHER THAN AVERAGE PERFORMANCE. THERE WERE JUST OVER 3647 K CARS SOLD AND 3022 OF THEM WERE COUPES. 3022 ALSO HAD BIG 413 CUBIC INCH MOTORS. THE $4056 PRICE TAG MADE THE 300K A CAR FOR BANKERS AND PEOPLE OF RELATIVE WEALTH IN 1964. THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE IN THIS UNMOLESTED AND RELATIVELY RUST FREE CONDITION. THIS  300K IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN. THE CHRYSLER WAS PURCHASED FROM OWNER #2. THE CAR IS A NORTHWEST CAR IT'S ENTIRE LIFE FROM WASHINGTON STATE A FEW MILES SOUTH TO OREGON. THE SELLER IS THE 3RD OWNER WITH CLEAR TITLE IN HAND.                                      THIS 413 4 BARREL CAR HAS A MFG. RATED HP OF 360 BUT IT FEELS LIKE 440. WE REPLACED THE HOSES. GASKETS. TUNE UP ITEMS (POINTS . ROTOR. CONDENSOR. PLUGS. WIRES. AND WENT THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING LINE BLOW AND FILTERS. ETC. WE REPAIRED ANY BRAKING DEFECTS. BLEW OUT THE BRAKE LINES. GAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER A TRANSFUSION. ADJUSTED THE BRAKES AND DID A 30 MILE TEST DRIVE WITH NO ISSUES.
THE INTERIOR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT DUSTY OF COURSE. WE PULLED THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OUT. INSTALLED A NEW HEADLINER. POLISHED THE EXCELLENT CHROME AND STAINLESS. SCRUBBED TILL WE WERE BLUE IN THE FACE AND THE RESULTS ARE AS EXPECTED FOR A SHOP STORED VEHICLE. EXTREMELY CLEAN!!
THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL CODE KK POLY TURQUOISE. IT IS LACQUER SO IT HAS THE TRADITIONAL CHECKING BUT OTHERWISE STILL SHINES UP NICELY. THE EXTERIOR CHROME AND STAINLESS ARE UNDENTED AND IN EXTREMELY GOOD SHAPE. SINCE THE CAR IS A SURVIVOR . WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. NO PANELS FULL OF BONDO AND RUB THROUGHS. AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT ONE  WOULD EXPECT OF A CAR STORED FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS IN A METAL SHOP BUILDING. EVEN THE TRUNK IS CLEAN. IT WAS REPAINTED IN THE TRUNK BECAUSE THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE SEALER AND IT SEEMED EASIER TO JUST GRIND IT OFF AND SPRAY IT BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW TRUNK MAT.
HERE IS A SYNOPSIS OF NEW PARTS: ANTI FREEZE. OIL. FILTERS. AIR FILTERS. PLUG WIRES. PLUGS. TUNE UP ITEMS. FRESH HIGH OCTANE FUEL. BRAKE PARTS AS NEEDED AND BRAKE REPAIR. HEADLINER. TRUNK MAT. CARPET. POR 15 FLOOR COATING. BATTERY. HOOD INSULATION. FUEL LINE. VOLTAGE REGULATOR. AND COIL. THE CAR IS GOOD TO GO!. SOME COOL THINGS WE FOUND OUT ARE THAT THE ORIGINAL RADIO WORKS. THE CAR HAS A WORKING VACUUM GAUGE AND THAT IT WAS A VERY WELL CARED FOR VEHICLE WITH IT'S PREVIOUS OWNERS.
ENGINE BLOCK CASTING 22056974 (AN RB BLOCK) AND THE ENGINE PAD SHOWS V  41  925   HP (SO IT'S AN HP 413 WOW!)THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED OR OPENED UP SO IT'S A STANDARD BORE THAT SEEMS TO RUN EXCELLENTLY. BODY 842 - TRIM M4W-  PAINT KK- AND THERE WERE 3022 COUPES IN THE 300K FOR 1964.  IT'S A COOL OLD CRUISER!
