Re: {Chrysler 300} C300 speedsters



If you look up 'gobsmacked' in the dictionary of slang, you will see my face.  That those two cars remained under my radar until 2021 is incredible.  Thanks Jack for the spotlight into those one and two offs.

Some time ago I asked if anyone know the current status of two C300’s converted to speedsters by two brothers and oil men from Texas. I did not receive any responses that I recall. I was beginning to think I had imagined them.

 

Last week sorting through some old WPC newsletters I found a photo of them.

This photo was taken at the WPC national meet in Denver in 1976. As I recall they were built using complete C300’s when they were new cars or nearly new. They had the complete C300 drivetrains, the 150 MPH speedo and other 1955 Chrysler gauges and knobs along with the shifter on the dash. The brothers took some heat from purists for cutting up two C300’s but were far from apologetic, they were proud of their creations and enjoyed showing them off.

 

Back to my question: where are they now?
