They are more spectacular now believe me. I owned a 300 and it was a great car. However, with today's v8 motors, computers and electronics, anti lock brakes and safety equipment, today's cars are far superior. I have a 2018 Hemi Challenger now and I will say that it is an awesome car. Some manufacturers still make great cars. Unfortunately, Chrysler has announced that they will stop making gas Challengers and they will be electric. Half the fun of driving a Challenger is the sound and the feel of the engine. No electric Challenger will ever compare even if as they say, it will be faster. Speed is not what makes the car great. And this Chrysler 300 is a prime example of a great car that is not a "race car".
@@JamesCAsphalt8none of that matters because they're all just colorless egg-shaped nothing that you can't feel anything going on as it nags you with nanny-state technology. Nothing about them is impressive. Oppressive, perhaps. They're a cancer to the road and create more careless and inattentive drivers because those people think they're invincible. They're not. They're so dangerous and no amount of their stupid faux-safety bs is ever going to change that. Electric cars are a scam, kicking the can of green responsibility down the road while supplying an unsustainable throwaway product of the environmental nightmare of lithium mining in countries where they force children to do it. The factories that make EVs and funkopops alone produced more carbon emissions in 2022 than all the cars on the road in 1970 combined. If you actually cared about the enviroment you'd run away from those heaps. None of the shit that's been dumped out in the oast decade or so has been any good whatsoever. Unless you're braindead or terminally lazy, i guess, but if that's the case still shut up.
My dad had a 69 Chrysler 300 which became my high school car. It got about 8 miles / gallon but it was awesome. When you floored it, it sounded like the Indy 500! And it had every option, even an 8 track player that played backwards LOL!. What a car!
@@TheJejeh2 the Hurst 300 is even rare here in the states as well. I learned a lot about that car when I owned it, like the fact that the rear decklid is prone to warping due to the fact that the decklid springs are too strong for the fiberglass to handle. Or that the frame rail just under the battery tray is prone to cracking. Just somethings to pass on to the owner if you ever speak with him or her again : )
@@pauldecham1896 From memory the body of the 300 is very tired, he bought a bare body, but it is still awaiting restoration. In France we only know 2, his and another completely new
Tourné en France, le « bonne route » à la fin et le tracteur jaune ainsi que la pancarte de signalisation m'ont fait penser que nous n'étions pas en Amérique. C'est juste dommage que ces superbes voitures ne soient plus dans le patrimoine nord américain. Mais les deux gars semblent heureux de les posséder et les voitures ont l'air bien entretenue.
Effectivement lors cette vidéo a était tourné en Normandie, les voitures venait d'être tout juste importé et le bonne route était parce que les voitures parté pour la région bordelaise, d'ailleurs la Chrysler si trouve toujours mais la dodge a était vendu pour la Suède ou la Hollande depuis 😉
I always thought the Chrysler 300 was the best looking car of Chrysler's fuselage bodies, I sometimes wonder why didn't the equivalent Chrysler New Yorker have hidden headlights considering it's a luxury car.
Had a 1973 monaco white with blue interior 440 police interceptor. Torsion bar front suspension, they would take me off the line put at 20 mph if came alive. Thermal quadrajet carb never passed a gas station. Nickel aize primarys and silver dollar secondarys.lol. Bought from the owner of a dodge dealer across from chapel hill mall on brittain road Akron, Ohio 1974.
Actually Jim thermoquads are a fine carb when set up correctly. Many of them were not set up anything like they were supposed to. They should fry the tires and get good economy during cruise. Highly tuneable in the right hands.
Komm, einen kannst du mir geben. Das wäre doch sonst ungerecht 😁 Der zweite hört sich allerdings komisch an, als wenn Steine in einer Blechdose herumschlagen.
Finally we two older cars with glasspacks instead of those shitty flowmasters. Last year I saw a 1969 Dodge Charger with flowmasters and man was I disappointed. Every time I see a 1968 to 1970 Dodge Charger I expect it to sound like the General Lee and not like some kind of wanna be Mustang. The best sounding car that I ever heard was a 1969 Hemi Coronet with Continental Blue Swinger glasspacks. It almost as loud as a race car with open headers, and it had that perfect Harley Davidson rumble sound.
I used to feel that way, until I saw so many of these sitting in US junk yards with their engines pillaged for A, B etc. bodies. At least the Germans and scandanavians love these cars and almost always return them to their factory glory v. donking them.
mr black6 interesting how the Germanic people seem to appreciate the Chrysler "fuselage" design of 1969-73. My Austrian born father had a 70 Dodge Monaco 500. Despite the harsh Canadian winters, he drove that car for 9 years.
Yeah because they want in on US hotrod culture that that they were denied and turned their noses up because they couldn't have it. Now they can live that culture 50 years later its cool - go figure. Actually I'm mischief making here because really the hobby has become so gentrified that no one other than the wealthy can afford a muscle car so 2 door alternatives (that no one wants) are a fine substitute and when fitted with a big motor these cars fit the bill.

better than the fucking scrapper it's nice to know that American Pride is so sought out overseas.. I used to feel kind of aggravated but now that I see what they do with them a lot of times it's like you know that's cool..
