This stunning 1962 Chrysler 300 Series-H, "High Performance Luxury" convertible is a Concours d-Elegance "Best of Class Winner" and was a futuristic design ahead of its time. This Astronomical Chrysler 300 series H convertible is an ultra rare rocket ship with very unique Astradome Instrumentation, the highest horsepower offered in 1962 and is ready to blast off with a 413/380hp power plant from the factory and a 727 Torque flight push button transmission for lift off. This investment grade, luxury muscle car, underwent an extensive two year extensive restoration with attention to detail to compete in the 2016 Keeneland Concours d' Elegance in Lexington Kentucky, where it was represented in the Chrysler 300 series class and was awarded as the "Best Of Class Winner" out of the 14 Chryslers registered in its class for the International Chrysler 300 Club. This Chrysler 300 Series-H may be one of the nicest Series-H cars existence, with only 123 convertibles built in 1962 and this is one of only 21 convertibles ever optioned with factory air conditioning, making it one of the rarest letter cars that Chrysler ever produced as well as being powered by the most powerful standard engine offered in any American car manufacturer in 1962. Powered by its huge 413 cubic inch engine, topped off with dual 4-barrel carburetors and was rated at an astronomical 380 horsepower and launched by a 727 automatic transmission is shifted by your fingertips on the pushbutton dash control. The attention to detail in the engine compartment is amazing showing off the dual Carter rare oval air cleaners, Dual Point distributor, factory air conditioning, "Constant Control" power steering, "Total Contact" power brakes and the Mopar Gold Standard battery. The classic Chrysler was professionally painted in its original color Oyster White with impeccable with Caramel bucket seat interior. The Oyster White paint has a deep shine and is surrounded by gorgeous, heavy chrome and stainless trim and the gaps and body fit are excellent. The iconic canted dual headlights were a giveaway that this is a special "300". The newer white power convertible top is in great condition and works like it should. The interior is a work of art with newer Caramel bucket seats front and rear and a full length center console with arm rests. The futuristic space age dash was designed by Vergil Exner and is in original very well preserved condition with space age Astradome Instrumentation bubble that has Electroluminescent lighting and is known as one of the most unique dash designs ever with original push button controls for the transmission, climate control and the radio. This luxury muscle car is equipped with a 150 mph speedometer, console mounted tach, power windows, original Golden Tone radio and original rare steering wheel from the factory. The 300H suspension was upgraded with stiffer Torsion Bars, "Tuned" heavy duty shocks and firmer springs for a better ride and performance and is rolling on correct steel wheels, wide whitewall tires and full size chrome 300 wheel covers for that classic Chrysler curb appeal.
