1955 Chrysler 300 for sale- RARE AND FANTASTIC
June 10th, 2010, Cars For Sale
Every now and then something very special presents itself; take this 1955 Chrysler 300 for example. Make no mistake; THIS is the car that started the muscle car era!
In 1955, Chrysler pounced on the automotive world with the new 300. Only 1725 examples where produced and the cars were available in but three colors, Red, White and Black. All 300’s had the 300 horse power (hence the name) 331cid Hemi V8 with race-profiled cams, solid lifters and twin 4 barrel carburetors, stiffer suspension and performance exhaust system.
Reports indicate that there may only be about 225 of these cars left of the 1725 manufactured. These cars are very collectable and in our opinion will reach staggering values in the years ahead.
This car:
This is a very, very nice driving car, its owner wanting a car that could be driven- not just looked at. The car has been restored to a very high standard, but, always with the intent of being driven and enjoyed, not as a car that would be tucked away.
The car has been refinished in its original factory White with natural leather- also new. The headliner is new, the carpeting is new, the dash was removed, rebuilt and repainted. The wiring harness was replaced. The original engine and transmission have been overhauled.
We did fail to mention one thing….of the 1725 cars produced there were reportedly only 11 that we equipped with factory A/C (you had to know someone to get this very rare option) this is one of those cars!
Offered at just $79,900
Inspections welcomed gladly.

Another fantastic MOPAR Star. Thanks for sharing this one Klaus. I have always had a soft spot for Chrylser Hemi-Powered vehicles.
Indeed the 1955 was the very first Chrylser 300 Letter cars. Subsequent models were B, C, D, E, F, G, and I believe H was the last year of the original Chrysler 300 Letter Series. They (Chrysler Corportation) brought them back in 1998 but they don’t quite have the pedigree of the original big finned Chrysler 300’s of the 50’s and early 60’s.
Cheers,
