Luxury and many available options may be the norm for most new muscle cars but back during the original muscle car era this wasn't the case. The exception was the 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst (300H) which was the ultimate luxury muscle car. It was a big luxury land barge that provided excellent muscle car performance. Only 485 to 500 of these special edition cars were produced in this one year only joint venture of Chrysler and Hurst Performance, INC.

Stunning is a little extreme, it’s certainly striking and unique but I couldn’t go as far as stunning, too slab sided and heavy, especially on the rear though I love the way the spoiler is integrated.

I'd never heard of a 300H, ever... however there is an eccentric old man in my neighborhood that still daily drives a slightly beat up '70 Chrysler 300. It's a freaking huge car compared to pretty much anything made today. Seeing it parked next to regular cars is always hilarious. Although this one is not super well cared for they're pretty cool looking cars.

I'm a Mopar guy so this is the coolest full size Mopar of the muscle car era. The 1955 Chrysler 300 was the very first American muscle car. But my absolute favorite 1950's car is the 57-58 Chrysler 300 which came with the 375 horsepower(380 hp in 58)392 Hemi engine with dual 4 barrel carbs. Mopar invented muscle cars in 1955-56(1955 Chrysler 300 and 1956 DeSoto Adventurer, Dodge D-500, and Plymouth Fury)...nearly a full decade before the 64 Pontiac GTO came out. The Exner era performance Mopars from 1955-59 were the fastest and most beautiful and stylish cars on the road at that time

They stop well. Drum brakes get a bad rap. Sure no abs. Most understand the concept of ABS. If the car starts to slide just give the pedal a pump. My old Chryslers had great brakes. Drums work. They handle the road great. Not a road coarse. But normal driving they do better than most new cars. Plus u can steer them with 1 finger. Good cars.

I had the last Vin of this car. I worked in Chrysler engineering and sold it to a friend of Lee Iacocca. I think it was the most expensive Chrysler in 70, @$6,900 bucks. I liked that when the seat was back and the steering wheel was down you couldn't reach the radio so Chrysler put a button on the floor similar to a headlight dimmer so you could change stations when laying back.

There is one of these exact 300H Hurst addition about a mile down the road from my house! What worries me is that whoever owns it has it outside under a carport in some old apartments. All it would take is some careless renter to catch the old place on fire and they wouldn't even have time to move it out of there before it went up in smoke! And I stopped and checked this car out about five years ago and it only had one dent behind the right front wheel and the rest of the car is in perfect condition! And let me tell you this, until you get right up close to one of these beautiful work of art of a car, you can't appreciate it in full. 😉

I know you've already done a video on the "fuselage" Plymouths, so it would really be exciting for me if you would do one on the Dodge and Imperial and all the rest of the Chryslers.

So many people will never know the feeling of pinning a large car, with gobs of power. I did it with my dad's '77 Mercury Grand Marquis wagon (with the C6 transmission) against so many other cars, it was incredible. The biggest rush was when I dropped a C4 'Vette in '87, from light to light. When the guy pulled up to my at the second light, all he wanted to do was look under the hood of my car. Around town, or around corners, it drove like a sick whale, but in a straight line... it was insane!!!!

I enjoy the performance videos a lot but wish you would occasionally showcase more mundane "everyman" cars from yesteryear as well as that is what most of us boomers were able to drive. My first car my Daddy gave me was a 1966 Plymouth Fury II with air, automatic, power steering & brakes, & AM radio and that was all. Had a practical passenger-side floor vent and triangle-shaped vent windows. Had a 2-barrel 318 CID V8. Daddy paid $2800 new for it. It had Chrysler's wonderful "command seating" and the visibility was great. You could see all 4 corners of the car. Fantastic bench seat, great for making out at the drive-in. Exciting? No, but I loved it and wish they still made a car like that, even if it was scaled down a bit. Basic but it spelled freedom for this teenager.

@@piotrwojcik2573 He's still got it. Has always said he won't sell it. He's had it since the mid 80's. I think it would take a substantial amount of money to get him to let it go. It was running when he parked it in the mid 90's. It's a dusty time capsule. All original. Everything is there. I've offered him 20k and he just smiles and hands me another beer. :-)

@@kentcruse4969 Hi Kent. Thanks for your response. I just finishing up a 70 300H what was sitting since the early 90's...it took me almost 3 years to bring it back on the road. Just sad to see that a car like this sits in the Garage for so long. It deserves to get restored and driven again. Who knows for how long we are able to drive those cars around...we both know that finding parts for those C-Bodies gets harder and harder.

@@piotrwojcik2573 I totally agree. Especially such a rare car. He's emotionally attached to it too. I keep encouraging him to do it sooner than later. Good news is he's pushing 60. Retirements getting closer!

I worked at a Dodge dealer in Westerville, Ohio in 1970. When I road tested a car, my loop passed Vincent Motors, also in Westerville, up the street from us. Vincent had one of these 300 Hursts on his lot. Sticker was over 5 thousand. I loved to stop and drool on it. !

Had a 71 Newport 440 4bbl auto in the early 80’s first enlistment in the Navy. That had the same lines as the 300. Was pulled over doing 147 in a 55. The cop wrote it for 71. Thanks AL Hwy Patrol. While on the CB, truckers would call it ‘large car’! Fun times and only 75¢ a gallon for gas!
