This Chrysler 300L, one of only 2,405 examples produced in 1965, boasts the factory’s breathtaking Navy Blue Metallic (EE1) finish. Although it underwent a refurbishment around 2010, during which it was refinished in blue, this timeless color choice remains true to its original allure.
The exterior features include a sleek black vinyl roof, chrome bumpers, quadruple headlights, striped headlamp covers, dual side mirrors, rear fender skirts, an illuminated “Three Hundred L” grille badge, and a dual exhaust system. Notably, the car now showcases eye-catching Magnum 500–style 15-inch wheels wrapped in period-correct 225/75 Coker Classic red-line tires, enhancing both its appearance and performance.
Step inside the Chrysler 300L’s cabin, and you’ll be greeted by the opulence of black vinyl upholstery adorning the front bucket seats and a rear bench. The interior boasts an array of desirable features, including a center console, a glovebox, vent windows, a console-mounted gear selector, a map light, a clock, and a push-button AM radio. While the air conditioning requires attention to blow cold, the overall cabin ambiance exudes luxury and elegance. The three-spoke steering wheel, adjustable column, and well-designed instrumentation, featuring a central 120-mph speedometer, fuel level gauge, amperage gauge, and a vacuum gauge, all add to the car’s vintage charm.
