ONE IS THE ORIGINAL COPY OF THE MICRO FILM OBTAINED FROM CHRYSLER HISTORICAL. ONE IS AN ENHANCED COPY, WITH INFORMATION FILLED IN FOR CLARITY. THE LAST IS A PARTIAL DEALER INVOICE, FROM SAN JUAN MOTORS, MADE OUT TO ORIGINAL OWNER JAMES GILLEY, OF WELCH, W.V.: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/library/1955%20300%20DOCS CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR SOME MORE PERIOD PHOTOS OF THE CAR: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/media/1955%20OLD%20PHOTOS/1955M.jpg.html 1955 marked the beginning of a new era for auto manufacturers. The Korean War had ended. The U.S. economy was back on track. All major automakers had transitioned back from war production and were anxious to get back to full time auto production. 1955 was the year that they would bring out their totally redesigned vehicles. Some of the styles hadn't been totally redone since World War II. In February, 1955 Chrysler released the first mass-produced, high-performance supercar to the motoring public. The brainchild of Chrysler-Imperial Division Chief Engineer Bob Rodger, the C300 was also the first American production automobile to generate 300 hp from a V8 engine. Rodger’s dream, combined with designer Virgil Exner’s visionary creativity, produced a vehicle recognized by many enthusiasts as the first American muscle car. The car's "Forward Look" styling can be attributed to designer Virgil Exner. The front clip, was borrowed from the Imperial of the same year. The midsection was from a New Yorker, with a Windsor rear quarter. Exner wanted to create the image of a sleek performance car. Therefore, he removed many exterior elements such as back-up lights, hood ornament, side trim, and exterior mirrors. Power was provided by MOPAR's top engine, a 331 Cu. In. Hemi V8 with two four barrel carbs, a full-race cam, solid lifters, special manifolds, fat dual exhausts, and 300 HP. The Hemi engine derived its name from its hemispherical combustion chambers. These chambers required a pair of rocker arm shafts on each cylinder head, with the spark plugs fitting between the valves. The Hemi was backed by a special performance Power Flite automatic. Firm, heavy duty suspension was installed, giving the car superior handling compared to those of the competitors. The 300 was offered in only three colors- Black, Tango Red, and Platinum. Completing the package was a luxurious tan leather interior. The true fact is, this car was manufactured for NASCAR and other racing circuits, but marketed as a luxury performance car to the retail market. The 300 was wildly successful on the racing venues. At the retail level, however, there were a few glitches. Some regular Chrysler customers did not fully comprehend the personality of the car. They were expecting the usual soft, floating luxury ride. The aggressive horsepower, performance exhaust, heavy duty suspension, and even a lope from the solid lifter cam at idle on the new 300 took some by surprise. Some even traded their 300’s in for other models. CHRYSLER C300 IN RACING: The success of the 300 in racing is undeniable. In fact, many racing experts have deemed the 1955-1956 Chrysler 300’s as the most dominant car model in racing history. Remember, in that era, stock car racing was exactly that. These cars were factory stock models with some safety components added, and only slight modifications allowed. Brewster Shaw, owner of San Juan Motors, the Daytona Beach Chrysler dealership, was a fixture at the Daytona Speed Week events. Shaw took delivery of the Platinum colored 1001, as well as other C300’s, before Speed Week started. When delivered, no one paid much attention to the VIN number, and few realized it was the first C300. Shaw himself piloted his cars in various speed week events, but not in the Grand National (As the series was called at the time) race. Shaw held the existing record for the two way Flying Mile, set in 1954, at 117.065 MPH. The day of the Flying Mile event was filled with excitement and anticipation. Mercury Outboard magnate Carl Kiekhaefer had entered number 1002, the second C300 off the assembly line, driven by Eastern Airlines pilot Warren Koechling. Shaw made his run, and set a new record at a blistering 126.542 MPH average. This shattered his own record for the previous year by nearly 9.5 MPH. Chrysler 300 number 1001 had shocked the spectators. The record was not to stand, however, as Koechling’s run edged out Shaw by 1.038 MPH at 127.580 MPH. Car 1002 and 1001 finish first and second in the event. Chrysler dominated the Speed Week events, and finished first and second in the 160 mile Grand National beach race. DOMINANCE OF THE CHRYSLER 300: The 1955 300 was virtually unbeatable in competition that year, winning its first NASCAR Grand National race. It took the checkered flag at 37 NASCAR and AAA ( Later known as USAC) races of more than 100 miles. Much of this credit also goes to Carl Kiekhaefer, the Mercury Outboard magnate. Kiekhaefer appeared virtually overnight with a powerful Chrysler 300. He brought the car to Daytona without a driver, but quickly approached Tim Flock. A deal was struck, and Flock won the 1955 Daytona race in his first start with Kiekhaefer. During the 1955 NASCAR championship season, Flock won 18 races and Kiekhaefer Chryslers won 22 of the 39. Kiekhaefer assembled what is commonly recognized as the most successful race team ever, including Tim and Fonty Flock, Frank Mundy, and Buck Baker. Their record is unparalleled. In 1955, Tim Flock won the NASCAR Grand National Championship, Frank Mundy won the AAA championship, and in 1956 Kiekhaefer Chryslers also won the NASCAR Championship and AAA Championship. In 1955 and 1956, Kiekhaefer Chryslers won 51 of 101 races entered, and 11 more with Dodges. After the 1956 season, Kiekhaefer abruptly disbanded his race team. Tim Flock’s departure and disagreements with other team owners were noted as contributing factors. The original C300 was a performance icon of its era, showcasing the abilities of the early Hemi engines on the hard-packed sands of Daytona Beach. Production ended June 24, 1955 with serial number 3N552725. CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR A FILE OF ADDITIONAL PHOTOS: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/library/1955%20PHOTOS%204 After Chrysler 1001 had completed the Daytona events, it was made available for sale. James Gilley, of Welch, WV., traveled to Daytona to purchase the car from San Juan Motors. Mr. Gilley kept the car until February, 1969, when it was sold to F.E. Hearne, of West Virginia. In the early ’70’s Steve McCloud bought the vehicle. Since then, it has never been offered for sale, and the car is now in the possession of McCloud’s immediate family. Mr. McCloud at the time was an active member of the Chrysler 300 Club, although in later years he ended his membership. Mr. McCloud drove the Chrysler, attended many Chrysler events, and displayed the vehicle at many shows. Some time around 1984, he parked the car in a barn, and that is the last time 1001 was in the public view. As stated, the car needs total restoration. Blocks were placed under the frame, so the bottom of the car hasn't been buried in mud for years, rotting away. It has been elevated, dry, with air circulating underneath. The frame is solid. There is long term oxidation from storage that could easily be bead blasted off. The trunk floor needs replacement. Front driver’s pan could use one patch. All components are on the car, it has not been cannibalized. The body is basically solid and in good shape. The bottoms of the front fenders and bottoms of rear quarter panels need some work. Passenger rocker needs replacement. Driver’s can be repaired. The interior is in good shape for the age and circumstances. Everything is there. Dash, speedo, controls, etc. in good shape. Glass is all good. Pot metal trim is solid and good shape. Needs buffing or polishing. A 1955 Chrysler New Yorker 331 Hemi was in the car when Steve bought it, still in the car. Has been switched over to dual quads and upgraded to 300HP specs. Serial # NE55-11684. There is also a 1955 Chrysler 300, 331 Hemi, 300 HP, that goes with it. 3NE55 code, but can’t make out the serial number yet. Condition of spare engine unknown. Powerflite automatic.

LEE PETTY: Any discussion of Brewster Shaw and San Juan Motors must include a short paragraph on Lee Petty. In 1954, Petty not only won the Daytona Grand National race in a San Juan Motors sponsored Chrysler, but also the 1954 Grand National Championship. This was Chrysler’s first championship, breaking the hold of Oldsmobile and Hudson. In 1955, Petty again competed in the race behind the wheel of a San Juan Motors sponsored Chrysler 300. He finished second, behind Tim Flock in a Kiekhaefer sponsored Chrysler 300. Petty finished third in the NASCAR standings that year. It is unclear whether the Chrysler Petty drove at the Daytona race was actually number 1001, another car from San Juan Motors, or a Petty built car. What is known, however, is that 1001 is indelibly etched in the record books for the other Speed Week events. DOMINANCE OF THE CHRYSLER 300: The 1955 300 was virtually unbeatable in competition that year, winning its first NASCAR Grand National race.

This Ebay offering is for a very special car, especially for the Mopar enthusiasts. This is the one of one 1970 Chrysler 300H Hurst convertible, affectionately known as the “Parade Float”, that appeared at race tracks and made appearances across the country. The promotional vehicle featured a towering Hurst shifter and a platform for iconic Miss Hurst, Linda Vaughn, to stand on. After the Chrysler was removed from service, it was purchased by an elderly man in Jacksonville, Florida. It was then purchased in 1976 from the Florida man’s estate by avid Chrysler collector Steve McCloud in Tennessee. This is the same Steve McCloud that owned 1955 Chrysler C300, VIN number 3N551001, the first Chrysler 300 scheduled for production, and several other rare Chryslers. Mr. McCloud, and the convertible, were nationally known in Chrysler circles, race tracks, parades, magazines, and in the Chrysler 300 club. Several articles were written on Mr. McCloud and the car. He displayed the car, and even made a few nostalgia appearances with Miss Vaughn, including a reunion at Bristol Motor Speedway in 1993, as photos will show. The car was then put in storage. This Chrysler is still in the possession of the collector’s immediate family. First time available for sale. The location of this car has been a question for years. The question has now been answered. It is still owned by Steve McCloud’s immediate family. This is the first and only opportunity to purchase the one of one 1970 300 Hurst convertible. CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR PERIOD HISTORICAL PHOTOS. THE TWO OLDER PHOTOS ARE AT RIVERSIDE, 1970, AND BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY, 1970. THE THIRD IS A REUNION APPEARANCE AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY IN 1993. IN THE PHOTO, OWNER STEVE MCCLOUD IS DRIVING THE CAR, WITH LINDA VAUGHN ON THE BACK: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/library/HURST%20TRACKS This is not a clone or a tribute. According the official Chrysler Registry “Production Option Code Books”, two 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst convertibles with VIN number beginning with CM27U0C were SCHEDULED for production. All other Chrysler sources state that one Hurst convertible was MANUFACTURED. Anecdotes from the past have suggested a “second car.” A rumor had floated around for years that another 300 Hurst Convertible was built, but totaled by a train in a joy ride by a Chrysler executive. There is no available documentation to support this theory, therefore unproven. There was also one other “special built” Chrysler Convertible. However, this car had a black interior, was born a T code 350 HP engine, and received a dealer transplanted Hemi engine, so it was not a true 300 Hurst Convertible. In fact, Mr. McCloud also owned this car for a short period of time. However, he soon sold it, as his collection featured only rare, “factory built” Chryslers. Therefore, the Chrysler offered in this ad, is the lone 1970 Chrysler 300H Convertible built to participate in the promotional tours, and is the only “Parade Float” that has ever been in existence. 91,119 original miles on the odometer. Essentially is original, stock configuration with the exception of maintenance and repair items. CLICK ON THESE LINKS FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH STEVE MCCLOUD CONCERNING THE HURST AND HOW HE FOUND AND PURCHASED IT, FROM MUSCLECARS MAGAZINE, MAY, 1995.

There is absolutely no doubt as to the identity of this car. The VIN number, original fender tag, ownership chain, period historical articles and photos, and public knowledge verify this. CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR AN ARTICLE FROM MUSCLECAR CLASSICS MAGAZINE, DECEMBER,1989. MR. MCCLOUD MADE AN APPEARANCE WITH THE HURST AT THE 1989 MOPAR NATIONALS, HELD AT NATIONAL TRAIL RACEWAY IN OHIO: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/media/HURST%20MOPAR%20NATS%20MAG/1970S.jpg.html CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR A PHOTO OF LINDA VAUGHN AND ANOTHER HURSTETTE WITH THE CONVERTIBLE: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/media/HURSTETTES/1970O.jpg.html During the golden era of muscle cars, most of the models fit a certain criteria. Most were intermediates in size, and some would even be considered compacts. However, the most unique were the full size variety. The Impala, Grand Prix, Catalina, Galaxie, Torino, Toronado, Roadrunner, Coronet and others broke the muscle car mold and provided big power with a big body to satisfy a buying public that desired speed, but also space. Chrysler can be credited with pioneering this idea with the Chrysler 300. It is recognized by many as the first muscle car, offering the first 300 HP engine as early as 1955. The Chrysler 300 letter series cars were high performance luxury cars that were manufactured between 1955 and 1965. Chrysler shocked the automotive public and also it’s competitors with the 300 horsepower C300 in 1955. This high powered monster featured heavy duty suspension, free flow dual exhaust, and the dual quad Hemi engine with a solid lifter cam that actually produced a lope at idle. NASCAR and AAA (USAC) are the venues that really launched this car into the spotlight. It began at Daytona. Brewster Shaw, owner of San Juan Motors Chrysler dealership in Daytona, and Warren Koechling, driving for the Carl Kiekhaeffer team, demolished all records in the multiple speed events of the Daytona Speed Week, before the actual race. Shaw piloted his own Chrysler 300, VIN number 1001, and Koechling wheeled VIN number 1002. These were the first two Chrysler 300’s manufactured. In the Daytona NASCAR race, Tim Flock and Lee Petty finished one and two in 300”s. Chrysler 300 teams won both the NASCAR championship and the AAA championship in 1955. Chrysler 300’s repeated this feat in 1956. For 10 years, the Letter Series 300’s were the dominant high performance big vehicles. However, with the changing times of the early '60s, the full-size super car era came to an end. The 1965 300L was the final year of the traditional letter series. Luckily for Chrysler fans, in 1969, Jim Wangers was working as an executive VP for Hurst Performance Research, Inc., in Royal Oak, Michigan, He was thinking about those potential car buyers who would appreciate an automobile that reflected their desire for something upscale, powerful, and attention-arresting. After careful consideration, Jim felt Chrysler would be receptive to reviving its full-size super car tradition. He was right, and the foundation was laid for the Chrysler-Hurst joint venture, which ultimately resulted in the 1970 300 Hurst, or 300H. The 300H was based on the 1970 Chrysler 300 Series 2-door hardtop. It was a natural for the Hurst treatment due to its fuselage styling, featuring a rounded body with sculptured crease lines. All were assembled at the Jefferson Ave. plant in Detroit, MI. They were shipped to the Hurst facility in Brighton, MI. Once finished, the Hurst 300s were shipped back to Jefferson Assembly for final inspection, and then sent to the ordering dealerships (most 300Hs were customer-ordered, some were designed for dealer stock, and a few were built for the sales bank). The standard package was the same on all the cars. However, extra options could be ordered. Production numbers vary according to several sources, but all agree that between 485 and 500 were built. Then there was one more. The convertible. Hurst and Chrysler decided to manufacture one Special Public Relations Vehicle, a convertible, custom designed for appearances across the country to promote the Chrysler and Hurst brands. While the hardtops were essentially built in groups on the assembly line, the convertible was a purpose built vehicle. Therefore, there are both similarities and differences between the two.

In., 375 HP TNT engine. Torque Flite transmission. V78 Accent stripe delete is present also, because the striping was done at the Hurst facility. Either power button, or under dash lever activated trunk release, or both. Due to the rear spoiler, a key lock could not be accessed. All also had dual power seats, power windows, Spinnaker White, and front disc brakes. Differences-The hardtops were pulled off the assembly line in small groups for shipment to Hurst. Although they were manufactured over a period of months, all were assigned a 125, or January 25, build date. The convertible, however, was assigned the actual build date- 505, May 5. All the hardtops featured M6T5 tan leather interior. A M6XW, white vinyl with black accents, was installed in the convertible. The hardtops were designated with a standard vehicle order number. The convertible was assigned the Q prefixed (Special Public Relations) vehicle order number. This is the only one with that prefix. Finally, the A12 fiberglass hood designation. Although all Hurst cars received the fiberglass hood, not all display the A12 on the fender tag, depending on early or later production. However, according to Chrysler Registry “Production Option Code Books”, it is correct that the convertible does not have the A12 on the fender tag. The convertible has been in storage for a period of time. The car is in good condition. A complete cleaning and detail will bring this beauty back to life. Spinnaker white exterior finish with all the Hurst graphics and decals, including the large Hurst quarter panel decals. Original white convertible top. Fiberglass scooped hood and trunk lid with spoiler. Original Magnum road wheels. Hood and fender turn signals. Original white, dual power bucket seat interior with center folding armrest. Everything in the interior is basically original. Power windows and locks. Search Tune AM/FM radio. Original Hurst shifter with original shift knob. Air conditioning. Both button in glove box and under dash lever for trunk release. Power steering. Power disc brakes. Tilt/telescopic steering column. Tinted glass. Rear stereo speakers. Original 440 Cu. In., 375 HP TNT engine. Engine and engine bay is stock and original, with the exception of maintenance and repair items. Heavy duty cooling system. Four barrel carburetor. Torque Flite automatic transmission. This may be the only time this car will be available for sale again.
