Equipment
413/375hp cross-ram dual quads, automatic, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, power steering, power brakes, swivel seats, console, power windows, dash clock, pushbutton radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Dirty and used but restored engine bay that needs comprehensive attention. Good older chrome and high quality paint. Wrinkled and discolored top. Lightly wrinkled seats and some scratches on the console, but mostly good interior. Lightly used restored underbody. A standard lightly aged but well done older restoration of a Letter Car convertible in pretty colors that has been allowed to deteriorate and desperately needs serious attention.
Market commentary
Is it a Hemi? No, it isn’t, but it a gorgeous cross-ram dual quad 413, adapted by Chrysler to its targeted market of bankers and businessmen who wanted a torque-monster engine that the 413 cross-ram provided. On the road today this is a stoplight king, coming off the line strong even if it runs out of revs before a quarter mile comes up. The Virgil Exner style body is impressive on its own. This 300F has a long auction history even though it rarely sold including at Mecum’s Las Vegas sale in 2018 for $83,600 and at Glendale in 2020 for $181,500. It is aged today and would be hard to support at much if any more than the bid it brought here.
