2009-10-29T04:33:00.000-07:00

300J was the next in Chrysler Letter Series production line, as the model "I" was abandoned.
Production of this car began in 1963. Car was once more restyled and was given more angular look, as it was in 60's. Smoother body was also abandoned. "short-ram" engine was also taken out of production the only engine available was "long-ram" engine 6.8l from 1962 models, but with 10 more horse power. Transmission remained the smae standard 4 speed manual. In 300J convertibles were no more available and remained only coupes. It had a strange square steering wheel.
It was a bit faster, then the older versions with 142mph (229 kmh) and 0-60 in 8.0 seconds. It ran quarter mile in 15.8 seconds and accelerated to 89mph (143kmh). But besides the sales were very poor only 400 coupes sold.

In 1962 the fins disappeared, after the designer Virgil Exner left Chrysler. The 300H was the top model in Chrysler production line. It differed from the 300G insignificantly. The main differences were the 300H badges on hood doors and trunk. Other options were also available by order.
Engine remained the same Chrysler RB. 300H had a little more power and 140kg lighter body, so it was faster than 300G.
It was a quite good car, but the price ruined it's exclusivity, only 435 coupes and 135 convertibles were sold.

300G - 1961 Time to restyle

2009-10-28T09:36:00.000-07:00
