What a beauty. When upgrading wheels on a classic car it's always nice to see the use of a same-period style like this instead of something modern.

Lou - another fine example of an American muscle car. I enjoyed how John articulated the backstory of this 1964 Chrysler 300K automobile. 😊 Looking forward to the next one!

Yes Lou, you are correct "What a treat!". The clean, sleek styling looks best on the convertible body, and makes this car look more recent than 1964. Beautiful 👍 Thanks Lou!

Love the sound of a Chrysler starter turning over

This Letter Car gets an "A" in my book! Thanks Lou!

The upgraded rims were great idea. Look fantastic. The car looks both classy and sporty at the same time. A great combination.

Always loved the 300 letter cars. Dad and a D and F. Still have fond memories of family vacations and local trips. Thanks.

Wow, a 1964 Banker's Hot Rod Convertible!😀A great Mopar restoration job by John. Thanks for posting this video, Lou.

Que elegante se ve este Chrysler 300K Convertible en rojo obscuro de 1964! Como bien lo resumiste mientras estabas paseando: "Es clásico, confortable, se ve bien y es poderoso". ¡Excelente video Lou, y saludos cordiales!

Very rare Mopar indeed! These cars you don't see everyday! Nice 300 K convertible! It looks like it has leather interior, which is in mint condition. The 413 engine sounds healthy, and the exterior color looks great! This car was made the year I was born so it's as old as I am! Another nice one Lou!

Thanks for featuring another iconic Letter Car, Lou. Love the color combo on John's K! Interesting that the K was the first Letter Car that had a 120 mph speedo, as compared to the '55-'63 Letter Cars that were fitted with 150 mph speedos. Also, the '64 300-K TorqueFlite cars had console-mounted shift levers, while all other '64 Chrysler TorqueFlites still had pushbuttons - the final year Chrysler Corp cars had this feature. Pushbuttons were found on all PowerFlite and TorqueFlite transmission Chryslers - Letter Cars and otherwise - from '56-'63.

Thanks to John for rebuilding the 64 K Convertible. These are being rare, seldom seen on the road nowadays. The 63/64 Orphan years were definitely a style that can grow on you. No way this would be confused for a GM or Ford. I appreciate the stock appearance and long term ownership. The 1964 300 Sport Series has cool stainless & aluminum side trim that hints to the coolness of a 1957 Chev Belair. The Letter car was more understated with pin striping. Only the second year for the 727 torqflite to have a Park gear !! Congratulations Great car to feature

This was my first new car, in Chesapeake Blue. Thanks Lou.

My uncle had a 1963 300 convertible. I remember that it really would move with the 413 engine.

John has one sweet ride, Thank you Lou for the share.

The 300K is a car you do not hear about often, nor see often. This is a historical piece in car history, a fine example here.... and a healthy 413! Thank you John for sharing some of the car's history, and thank you Lou for the great interview.

Years ago, my dad had the New Yorker version of this car ( essentially the same but not optioned out like the letter card). For a heavy car, these cars were very fast with a lot of tourque. Most had the 413 engine which you can’t kill. The cross ram was a rare option even on the letter cars. The weakness of the 64 was the electronic starters; my dad would be busting his knuckles in the middle of winter every few years replacing his. I believe his term for it was “pig”. They say you either love or hate this year; for myself, I really love them! They were known as “the bankers hot rods” as they were not an inexpensive car (dad got his from a bank auction a few years old for $700 bucks…still a lot of money in 1967). Thx Lou!

That front end looks so similar to the Valiant, export versions, sent to Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Brazil. A front end only a mother could love :) but nevertheless beautifull car. Thank you to Mr. Plosila for keeping her well and to you Lou for introducing her to us, very enjoyable.👍

Never cared much about convertibles but this is a real beauty

I'm impressed that you got Wilfred Brimley ti show you his 300 drop top. Who knew the Quaker Oats guy had a Bankers hot rod?!

WOW!!! Thanks Lou.. My first new car was a 1964 300K convertible - Chesapeake Blue.

Lou, I comment on most of your cars. Sometimes I comment that someone in my past (or even myself) had similar cars to the ones that you find. Once again, my father had this car. His was a 63 Newport with a 318 four barrel and a hardtop and push button transmission, in dark Chrysler Green. My dad had some really nice cars, just like what you always feature. He loved Chrysler! Nice work sir.

These early to mid 60's Chryslers remind me of the Beverly Hillbillies show. Chrysler provided the vehicles for the show, so there was always a beautiful example pulling up in front of the mansion. Pretty sure "Miss Jane" drove one just like this one. The Magnum 500 wheels are a definite improvement.

Nice 64 Chrysler products were excellent vehicles.

GOOD EVENING. From Venezuela, VERY IMPRESSIVE CHRYSLER 300K CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou, Thank you very much for showing us this GREAT CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou. Thanks for taking us along for a ride. As always an EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO

Gorgeous Chrysler in a great color ! Thanks for posting Lou !

The original Chrysler "K" car very cool to see a trip meter on the odometer for 1964 !

Magnum 500's look great on that car! First time I've seen them on a 300 of that vintage! Nice car John!

Great job Lou! Looks good from every angle, convertible, fantastic burble, and a very pleasant owner.

Great color and beautiful car! What fun it would it be to drive

Great find, Lou! Reminds me of my old '65 Galaxie convertible...

Rare car, and very hard to find the trim pieces that help distinguish it from a regular 300 Sport. I love the letter cars! This has the std HP 413 4bbl with the cross ram being the only option for the 1st time. Dual quad engines were std fair up to this point. Interestingly enough, the cross ram was only rated 20 more hp...Those in the know say it was closer to an honest 400hp (gross) with torque in the 480 lb ft range.

What a nice 300K - spectacular restoration! Thanks Lou!

Another nice one, Lou! I've always been fond of the letter cars, and after all of Mr. Plosila's restoration efforts, we can all see & enjoy why. Thanks, Lou!

Thanks for sharing, it is great that you have this car featured as Nick's garage youtube has a 413 cross ram he is rebuilding. My Grand Parents had a 63 361 cu in Newport 2 barrel.

Great! car story! Good show! For a Mopar, this 1964 Chrysler 300K is one of the rarest models, that I've ever seen so far, on the KZfaq channel. It really has style and lots of horsepower, especially with it's 413, under the hood. In fact I've heard a lot about the regular Chrysler 300 series, but not like this Nascar model version. Only 1200 of those were produced. However, the body looks somewhat like the Plymouth Valiant, or even the Dodge Dart of the same time era, for that matter. Thanks! again Lou, for this other utterly beautiful presentation, of your car story, wishing you and your family a very happy Holidays Season. Johnny, Montreal, Canada ❤️

In addition to being a fine actor, I didn't know William Brimley was a gear head too.

Really like the lines of this classic.

Nice car. Like the interior and dash. Nice hood view to.

Another great Mopar you showcased. You never disappoint us Lou. A co-worker of my Dad years ago bought a brand new 64 New Yorker. I remember it well. Same 413 engine.

The 63/4 Chrysler weren't everybody's favourite shape, I love them, and this one is beautiful, thanks Lou

Thanks, Lou and John. This is a nice car, and I wasn't expecting to ever see a video on one of them. My first car was a '64 New Yorker and John's car is similar enough to remind me of that. My car had the 413 too and hearing John's car is making me recall the same wonderful sounds from the engine and transmission. I'd forgotten how heavy-duty those sounds are, they're industrial like. Nice! Chrysler was such a significant company, it's a shame what's happened to them.

Hey @lou great ride along with John and his red rocket! Thank you sir for a first rate production!

Thanks, Lou !....Another beautiful early Mopar. Please thank Mr. Plosila for sharing his beautiful cruiser with us. The 413 has a nice "lope" at idle and will get that big car onto the highway in a hurry. Be well and Happy Thanksgiving !!

A beauty here Lou. WE had a mystery man down the street when we were growing who had one of these in light brown with white roof who would interrupt our road hockey games every day. A real boss car with the oval steering wheel. Thanks for bringing us these cars. Stock rocks!!

Sweet Chrysler! Thanks John and Lou for showing it to us. Reminds me of my brother's '64 Newport that I loved to borrow from him back in the 70's!

I had a black 59 Imperial 4dr sedan with a 413 VWedge Engine. The most powerful car I have ever owned boughjt from a farm in Silvis Illinois 52 years ago. Paid $100.00 sold for $150.00 pushbutton Trans on the dash Great Classics

Again, if I won the lottery I wouldn't be buying hemi cars, I'd be collecting ever year of 300 and is definitely hunt this one down

Another great car. that restoration is very nice, great show Lou.👍👍👍👍.

Goodday Lou, What a beautiful cruiser of a Chrysler. The banker's muscle car & those Magnum 500 really set it apart nicely. Great job from John for being such a great caretaker. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

now that's a real chrysler

Tanx Lou.Very nice car, love it much. A MOPAR fan

Fantastic car Lou nice one to show

Beautiful 64 Chrysler 300! Those Magnum 500 wheels look great on her! Color is killer! Thanks Lou for the fine video as always. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

Nice 5 stars

Very cool and rare.

Back when the lug nuts on Chryslers screwed on backwards on one side of the car in order to prevent the nuts from loosening if they weren’t tight enough. I thought about that when you commented about how smooth it was. Chrysler was very thorough about details back then.

Wow! you could teach math off that low idle! Suggestion: you need to do about a 20 or 30 minute compilation video off the BEST idles and revs from past videos.

What a cool car! Thanks for sharing Lou!!!

Thanks, Lou! Carlisle looks like my area,,TOO MANY STINKIN' TOWNHOUSES!!!!

Very beautiful and quality car. The older cars are special. Good video Lou and thanks!

Real nice thanks Lou, for those interested you can see a 413 dual carb long arm manifold at nicks garage on u tube

Super cool ride looks like oil man mr.brewsters car on the Beverly hillbillies.

Nice. Some would say the 300 was the first muscle car.

Fantastic!

Nice!!!

Beautiful car, beautiful red. I always liked the 1963-'64 Chrysler. They were Virgil Exner's final designs for the marque. John is right about 14" wheels. They started appearing on the 1957 models to lower the cars' profile, and almost immediately took over the industry. By the mid '60s, they made cars look over-bodied and ridiculous. Oldsmobile especially.

If you're going to change the wheels on one, the magnum 500s are a great look 👌, they also look great on wire wheels with 60 series tires!

Another beautiful mopar.. that is a beautiful example of early Mopar Muscle, thanks again Lou!

😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Nice car. Looks like a Dodge in the front. Thanks Lou.

That was like coitus interruptus.

Nice 😀

Lovely car,if you see a 1960 plymouth let us know😀

Great car, John, and this "bankers hot rod" I doubt Mr. Drysdale had one this nice . : ) Nice feature guys on a real beauty Chrysler with all best stuff. Thank you and thanks Lou 👍

I agree with the owner's decision to upgrade the 14" wheels. Wheels and tires were almost always undersized before the 1990s, and I would guess it was a cost savings measure from the factories. Every time I see a great car with pathetic little rubber feet it makes me wince. If it requires brake and suspension upgrades then do it. Put a rear sway bar on it and upsize the front bar. These mods are well worth the expense, and screw the "originality" of poor driving characteristics.

Hard to beat a red convertible and a 300K to boot.

👍👍 wunderbar....🪄

I had a '64 300k but it was a 2dr hardtop. Badass streetcar, but it couldn't pass a gas station.

💕👌 ĺove it

It must be very difficult to be incognito in a car that is torrid in RED! Would this be considered Chrysler's very first "K" car? :) I bet that "K" goes like "H"! Great owner and video! Thanks!

Nice car burning up the pavement and the tires yea

Nice ride....classy, right Lou?

Classic-car owners should doll up in clothes of each car's "birth year". This would add to the aura, and they could likely afford it! Even thrift shops might provide some nuggets.😃

👍

mr louu

I just noticed the mileage, 41k, is that original Lou? That’s incredible if you think of it.

👍💯😝💯👍

That looks great from the side and from the rear. Those modern wheels are what was needed for further crowning this design. That's a great interior. There's nothing like a sporty white leather set-up, even if a vaccuum guage substituted a tachometer. Air cleaners without silncers should have been mandatory for all banker's hotrods. The reason as to why more covertibles have survived may have been because sub-idiots considered them unsafe for their sub-idiotic demolition derby abuse, being that Chryslers were favored above all othe brands for such moronic events. If only convertibles would have been allowed for derbys, the national average intelligence score would have greatly increased

For me, the mid '60's Mopars look a little wonky until after I am around one for awhile and get used to it. Then I realize that's it's charm. The fuel door kind of looks a lot like a Chevy emblem though. Maybe a saboteur spy from GM helped design that? Big difference in cars from automakers building man made dream automobiles then to building computer design/study group people mover appliances now.

Isn’t the owner the guy that was in the movie “Cocoon”😂

hey i do half assed restorations - it's easy !!

The entire car looks beautiful except for the front end which is but ugly

So nice, much better looking car than the J, 413 don't hurt

Do believe I heard solid lifters.... sounds great

NOW THAT'S A "K" CAR 🤣🤣🤣

Reving up that engine, sounds real mean! Another grand review ! BTW, thanks for the download of the first video, it was great ! Keep it up!
