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 have a 62' Imperial that needs a total restoration if you want to take in a mangy old stray, Jim.

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.
