This 1961 Chrysler 300G is one of 337 convertibles produced for the model year. It underwent a refurbishment performed by Muscle Car Restorations, that was completed in 2015. The car is finished in white over tan leather upholstery, and power comes from a 413ci V8 paired with a push-button three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated black soft top, dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, a cross-ram intake manifold, MSD electronic ignition, an electric fuel pump, a stainless-steel exhaust system, power-assisted brakes, power steering, wheel covers, whitewall tires, swiveling front bucket seats, and power windows.
The 413ci Golden Lion wedge-head V8 was factory rated at 375 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque and features a cross-ram intake manifold and gold-painted air-cleaner housings. Replacement Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors were installed along with MSD electronic ignition. The starter was rebuilt in June 2021, and the oil was changed most recently in preparation for sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a push-button-shifted three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. An electric fuel pump and a dual-exit stainless-steel exhaust system were installed during the refurbishment, and a replacement torque converter was added in August 2023.
