Re: [Chrysler300] Right Hand Drive Letter Cars

I was fortunate enough to meet and see member Peter Waite 's F at a big Mopar meet in Albury Australia last March. "Biggest Mopar show in the southern hemisphere" , were over 800 cars. He and his buddy converted that F, a'63 Imperial, their tow vehicle, a late 70's Dodge ( sorry guys, forget the exact year ) plus another bunch of North American cars to right hand drive for friends/customers . They did this after the "right hand drive rule" was done away with, believe it is over 20 years now. They did a great job, hard to tell it wasn't factory, at least to my non expert eyes, but was sure the mirror image of my F.

A member from OZ can jump in here with the latest info.
This may have changed in the last few years, but ANY car driven on OZ's roads HAD to be right hand drive. In fact, you could not regester it until it was done. I think you had to sign documents that you would not drive it.
There are quite a few shops that provide this service They literally cut the dash up in pieces and weld them back to move the gauges to the right side. And, since the big three make export cars, there are many steering components available for the conversion. I imagine that a special order car could have been built...

Good morning!

Does anyone have any figures as to how many letter cars were built as right hand drive?
On the Forward Look Facebook page there is currently a photo of a right hand drive F in Australia. This is the first I have heard of a RHD letter car.
