Chrysler
300-Hurst (1970)

Why it matters

The 1970 300 Hurst was a Spinnaker White full-size coupe with Satin Tan Hurst-applied trim, built in a run of about 500. It is not a true letter car, and it is rarer than an original Dodge Daytona according to Street Muscle. Neither company promoted it, so very few were sold.

How rare is it?

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Chrysler built 300s for the programme at its Jefferson Avenue plant in Detroit and shipped them to Hurst in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The agreement called for Hurst to add deeper oil pans, upgraded ignition and Hurst shifters, but none of these mechanical changes were made; Hurst did body work instead.

Sources disagree on the number built: Hagerty says some give 485 and others 500, with exactly one convertible built for promotion. The club registry lists 485 hardtops and one convertible.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

All cars began as Spinnaker White coupes and received Satin Tan accents on the hood, beltline, trunk and sides. Hurst replaced the hood skin with a fibreglass piece with a power bulge, a non-functional scoop and 300H emblems, and added a decklid with an integrated spoiler and a vacuum-operated remote release. The interior is tan leather from the Imperial. The only engine is the 375 hp 440 TNT. The registry's starting VIN prefix is CM23UOC.
