nice copper 1961 Chrysler 300G refurb

[Fritz]

1961 Chrysler 300G Hardtop

I dig the fins starting on the doors.
Almost as long as a RR Ghost at 220".
Need a Class A CDL to be able to turn a corner.

Top speed ~130mph.
4300lbs at the curb. 0-60 in 8.4s.
Stopping distance - concrete block wall.
Fuel efficient at 10-11.5 mpg. Gas was ~.31/gal.

Truly a make America grunt again.

yea, very nice of the era

I've never been a fan of Mopars of that era, but the Chrysler 300 is an exception. 2 fours on a crossram manifold! What a grand land yacht!

Not love with that car but I'd like to lick that paint.

My dad had a very similar 1959 Pontiac Catalina in that same color.

Couldn't find a decent pic in copper, so BAT had a nice red one.....





Use your imagination, or maybe hold up a shiny penny (or vintage Revere Ware
pot/pan bottom) to recreate the lustrous copper vision.



Dad bought it in San Antonio, TX, and pretty much 3/4 counterclockwise
circumnavigated the perimeter of the lower 48 on his way back to SF.

it's nearly as big as the island that was named after it (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

Nice color - almost matches the color of the Chrysler Turbine car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Turbine_Car
