HISTORY/RESTORATION

1 of only 164 1962 Chrysler 300Hs believed to still exist this stunning MoPar has served as the feature car for the Chrysler 300 Club International Fall Meet served as the feature car for the Das Awkscht Fescht and won Best in Class honors in Concours dElegance judging. The car met its first owner right here in Concord North Carolina back in 1962. In 1993 it was discovered by its most recent owner about an hour outside of Concord in Lancaster South Carolina. And from 1993 to 2003 that owner perfected a detailed rotisserie restoration that has thus far provided 13 trouble-free years of enjoying cruise-ins visiting shows and making yearly treks to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. That 18K miles of travel has been most eventful since as the owner put it: [the car] wins every year at Carlisle and has won so many trophies I had to donate a lot of them.

The trunk and floorpans didnt really need replaced but the restorer replaced them anyway to add to the restorations longevity. All the cars glass remains original as does its stainless which was professionally polished to an impressive luster. In the name of authenticity correct Tuxedo Black pigment is reflected by PPG Concept acrylic urethane single-stage. Naturally that finish has been color-sanded power-compounded glazed and hand-polished to an incredible shine. And fresh side medallions sourced from Australias George Laurie are just the finishing touch to ensure this Chrysler rolls as one super slick muscle car that mixes stellar performance with killer aesthetics!

At the top of the monster motor gold MoPar-branded air cleaners feed big Carter carburetors which are positioned on an exclusive dual-quad intake. That wide-set manifold hangs a traditional points distributor between stainless fuel lines a MoPar canister filter and eight 7mm Premium High Temperature Cables. Those wires snake around correct cast iron heads which hang large valves and
