Those '60 Chryslers are one of my favorite cars.

Back when the world contained money, I was planning to get one.

Is it def. a '60 300F? I must admit, I can't tell the year for sure except from the front (and I forget if the lay down spare on the trunk and that wild carb setup were offered other years). Probably one of my favorites of all time.

I'll never have the cash to completely restore it new, but I can't cut it up, because they're never going to make another one.

I wish I could take that off your hands, Jim, but money and space don't permit just now.

THAT would a cool daily ride.

It's still got the square steering wheel, right?

In the immortal words of Maggie in Caddyshack, "Dats all I need!" Looks like a good car rust wise. I would put 50 grand into that thing. I'd be beter off buying one that was done. Something else I can't afford. LOL

It's really done nicely. Is that a 69 yellow/black 442 right in front of it?

Load it on a flatbed and send it to me! That thing has 'potential' written all over it. Mind you when I'm done, it will look like a Mafia staff car

Damn funny, J. I would need treatment for more than a staph infection when my better half found out I bought that. Here's a pic of my buddy's 2 '71 HemiCuda ragtops. The grey car is a one of one export to europe. And of course the lightweight Hemi car. The camaro is a Fred Gibb ZL1 drag car . There were 13 (I think) ZL1s there. Wow! The other stuff is just plain cool.
