One of the rarest cars having the
HURST name on it is the 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst, built in
association with the legendary Hurst performance company, to give
Chrysler the only luxury "Muscle Car" during the muscle car era of
the 60's and 70's, and a throwback to the legendary 300 letter cars,
this is 1 of 485 300 HURST conversion ever produced.
Under the hood is the 440 cui. HP "TNT" engine with 375 gross
horsepower served as the power plant. It breathed through a dual
snorkel air cleaner, roared through dual exhausts and required a
beefed up TorqueFlite transmission. Ride was enhanced with a firm
suspension due to tougher rear leaf springs and larger diameter
torsion bars up front.
Power front disc brakes were standard, as was the 3.23:1 final drive
ratio.
Some of the features of these huge power machines are a unique
fiberglass power bulge hood with functional air scoop and dual
depressed rotary hood latches, fiberglass deck lid with integral
rear spoiler and rear end caps, the Hurst traditional White and Gold
paint combination, deluxe wheel treatment and Side marker lights,
front and rear bumper guards.
The Imperial leather interior with a long list of all the creature
comfort available at the time. Doul 6-way power seats, A/C with
climate control, PS, PB, PW and Door locks, Tilt-telescoping siring
wheel with perimeter-recessed horn ring, AM/FM/8-track stereo,
cruise control.
Base price new was around $ 5,842. this car with all it's options
was $7398. It was the most expensive Chrysler in 1970 (except
Imperial).
