Every now and then something REALLY special comes along; this is one of those times!

This extraordinary example of the 1960 Chrysler 300F is finished in its original Alaskan White with Tan leather interior. The factory options include:

(842) Hard top (311) Air conditioning
(353) leather interior (383) remote control mirror
(WW1) Alaskan White Paint (422) Golden Tone radio
(442) Solex tinted glass (523) 3.31:1 rear axle ratio

Total Production for the 1960 300F consisted of 964 hard tops and 248 convertibles or 1212 total units. Of those produced, and as of May 2001, there are 275 hardtops that are known to exist and only 75 convertibles; a total of only 350 surviving cars.

This car has had only 3 California Owners it entire life. The car was originally purchased at San Fernando Valley Motors in May-June of 1960. Its second owner had the car from 1962 until 1986 and its third and current owner has had this wonderful car ever since.

Restoration was started on the car in May of 1994 and was completed about one year later. The car was professionally repainted to its original color and the leather replaced with the correct hides. The chrome that needed refinishing was done, though most of the chrome on the car is original and in near perfect condition as is all of the stainless.  Most every component on the car is original to THIS car including all of the glass. This car is in remarkable original condition, perhaps the most original of any 300F known to exist. The factory air was a very rare option to these cars as are the manual seats that also swivel outward.

This is a stunning example of the 1960 300F that truly is a turn-key car and perhaps one of the best examples to be found anywhere!

We are offering this fantastic piece of automotive history for a very reasonable $85,000

It has been a while since we have posted anything new on this site; we have been busy reading.

While in Monterrey last year for the week-long car enthusiast events; including Pebble, Quail, Gooding’s, RM, the Concorso, etc, etc, etc….our good friend Tony a2z introduced us to a very, very nice Englishman by the name of Peter Bryant.

We knew the name, but, were not quite certain why. Peter was cool and his typically dry British humor refreshing. Peter was one of those fellows that, when one met him, was instantly likable. As we were having lunch at the Quail event, we discovered who Peter was. This guy was one of the finest and most ingenious designers of the fastest race cars of the time- Can-Am cars-the light came on….THAT Peter Bryant!

A few months later, we had the good fortune to spend more time with Peter at the Desert Classic Concours. Peter’s book about his life in racing had just been published and he was gracious enough to have autographed ours; right there on the spot. Having had the opportunity to speak with Peter at length that day was amazing. The people he worked with, the drivers that he knew and had driven his cars- it was a trip though what was, in our opinion, the best days of the sport we all love so very much.

 Sadly, Peter passed away a few short weeks later. What we would give now to have been able to meet Peter sooner; a facinating man with an amazing story.

When we returned from Palm Springs, we placed Peter’s book on the edge of our desk and though we occasionally thumbed through it, it was not until recently that we actually sat down and read it…Note to a2z- “Have you read the fookin’ thing?”:)

This book is an absolute must read! The forward is written by Jackie Oliver and the stories of Peter’s life in racing just amazing; an intoxicating read to say the least. Buy the book,  poor yourself a nice long single malt Scotch and re-live the real days of motorsport; you’ll love it!
