The owner of this car was so informative yet super nice. I think it's wonderful that this rare Chrysler is owned by him as he will display it to the public instead of locked away in a billionaires private collection. He is a wonderful steward for this automobile. Great video as always Lou.
Hi Kenneth White, Glad you enjoy this video, and I agree, great Care Taker for this car. Thank you for the kind words on the video, it's always appreciated :-) Lou
that's the perfect guy to own this car; you can feel his enthusiasm and pride he takes in its ownership
Hi mitchlu, Thank you for viewing, sharing, and leaving a wonderful comment. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
mitchlu I said the same thing in my comment. What a great human being to own this car.
He also seems very approachable! which is important with a car like that sometimes you see a beautiful car and you look at the owner and he looks like a miserable ass and you just keep walking
I agree he's so patient. Lou calm down.
Instablaster...
I've always loved THAT car!
But, it's always seemed odd that it never had a set of Hurst wheels on it.
Hi Slick, Happy to read "I've always loved THAT car!" :-) Lou
My next-door neighbor was one of Hurst-Campbell's first sales reps, and he had this beast parked right next to my house in Levittown PA in 1969. It was the Hurst display car for Linda Vaughn, Hurst's glamour girl and mascot. This Chrysler had the original rubberized platform that Ms. Linda Vaughn stood on while clutching that giant Hurst Competition Plus shifter with Line-Loc! That weekend, we went to Willow Grove Air Force base in Warminster, PA for the Hurst exhibition, where I saw Ms. Vaughn, watched the "Hemi Under Glass" in a full wheelstand, go most of the way down the airstrip, and finally sat inside the HURST Goldenrod, a Land-Speed Record Car with four Chrysler HEMI engines. Scotty was a great neighbor, and the sixties ruled.
Hi xtc1957, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your neighbor who has this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou P.S. I think you'll enjoy this video too. ua-cam.com/video/ibOj1PUJK9Y/v-deo.html
@@loucostabile So were there a couple of these made for Linda Vaughn and the Hurst exhibitions? My neighbor's had the rubberized platform on the trunk lid for her to stand on, but the big shift wasn't on it until the big day, when we saw her and the car going down the airstrip! Keep in mind, he did not own it, but brought it home for the weekend. He was a sales rep, one of the first ever for Hurst-Campbell. I loved living near Philadelphia, we were close to so many great things and we had race tracks everywhere.
GREAT CAR, GREAT STORY, GREAT HISTORY. LOVE THE PICTURES OF LINDA VAUGHN
Happy to read you enjoy this car, history, and pictures of Linda Vaugh too :-)
Big bad Mopar. I love it. Probably my favorite of the full size Chrysler products. The 440 is a torque monster that you can drive every day...if you can afford the gas lol
Happy to read you enjoy this "Big bad Mopar" :-)
can you name the tourque? A number? ( i read it often but without numbers. )
20 feet of cool...and the guy seems just in awe that he has it!
Hi Barry Snider, Fun guy and car. Seems like a perfect match :-) Lou
I knew this car existed but never knew the story thanks Lou
Fun car to video and share. You're welcome, Lou
oh, my my! what a 1970 BEAST. Always loved this demo. but Lou's video on a four speed GM product: the ram rod 350 cutless really made my day. ..an oldmobile with manual. real classy! no pistol grip hurst, but a power antenna for the radio. nice
Hi Scott, Happy to read you enjoy this BEAST :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
Please thank the owner for mentioning Jack Duffy. I miss so many people from the company.
Hi Laurie, I'm sure he'll check the comments occasionally, so this is the right place to share. Thank you for viewing, Lou
@@loucostabile I'm going to have to go through your channel. I'd like to see the Hurst Pontiac SSJ Grand Prix. Another Hurst rarity. Have an awesome holiday season! Stay safe!
Cars of that era are and will be the most beautiful ever in human history!

Since high school, early 80's I've wanted one, Convertible really takes it over the top. Love the rear spoiler and hood treatment with the twist hood locks. Worlds first green car. Runs off recycled dinosaurs. Lame joke but I love that car.
Hi Al, Glad to read you "love that car" :-) Hope you're behind the wheel of one like this soon, Lou
Beautiful Brute. Thank you Trevor for sharing your 1 of 1 300 with us and thank you Lou for providing another outstanding show.
Hi solemandd67, Happy to read you enjoy this "Beautiful Brute" :-) Thank you for viewing and you're welcome, Lou
Great car! Brings back memories of my dad's '71 300 four door hardtop. He opted for the "TNT" engine with the orange engine paint. It sounded great. He read in the manual that occasional short bursts of full throttle acceleration helped to break in the engine, so, he took us kids out to the interstate on ramp and did just that! It took off!
One correction in the video. The headlight doors were electrically operated, not vacuum. I know this because they stopped working. My dad had sticker shock on the dealer price for the electric motor so we took it apart and cleaned the brushes. Worked from then on until he sold it in the '90's.

This car is are sweet! My father owns a '70 Chrysler New Yorker, a '70 Three Hundred, and my favorite, a maroon '68 Chrysler Newport. My family loves Chryslers! 😁
Hi Master Who, Glad you found one on the Channel you enjoyed. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Lou Costabile Yeah I just love Chryslers (the older ones at least), and this was perfect!
I had a 68 Newport with a 383 it was very nice !
Master Who what a load of crap totally. A fake
Someone is jealous
Amazing Lou! I'm not sure how you keep finding these old Mopars but I love it. Thanks.
Thank you.
Just now catching up with this feature. WOW! Way cool! Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-) You're welcome, Lou
I saw a 1970 " Hurst Roadrunner"
Had hurst badges?
at a show in Union Illinois, last summer
Didn't know they existed ?
Hemi orange !!
Extremely original
I'm assuming very rare?
Hmmm, very cool :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing.
Hi Lou, Thanks for getting so many great videos of ultra rare cars for all of us enthusiasts. I can't help but laugh when I read these "experts" commenting on how this or that particular car did not exist. I had a 1969 Grand Prix with a Hurst 4 speed and a 428 that more than a few people told me Pontiac never built! Where do they grow these people? I swear, people couldn't wait to try to tell me that I had been ripped off, Pontiac never put a stick shift in a Grand Prix, and on and on and on. Jim Wangers LOVED my Prix! Said that he had one almost identical in 69! But, those "experts". They probably would tell Mr Wangers that HE doesn't know what he's talking about! Anyway, great job, and thank you again for sharing your videos. P.S. That Hurst shifter in this car is super cool. I never saw one like it. (OK, "experts" that's your cue to tell me that Hurst didn't make it!) ✌️ Lou. Johnny J
Hi Johnny J, You're welcome. Glad you're enjoying the videos. It's fun to find cars I think Viewers will find interesting and talk to the Owners / Care Takers and hear what they say about the car. Enjoy the Channel, and I appreciate you sharing, that means a lot to me, Lou
Lou Costabile Sure Lou. One last thing: I noticed that you were at the MCACN for the Hurst 300 video. Stefano Bimbi from NICKEY Chicago is who I bought my Prix that I told you about. I know that the event happened again about a month or six weeks ago and NICKEY is one of the main sponsors. If you know Stefano, please give him my regards. He's a great guy. Peace. Johnny J
Hi Johnny J, I do not know him, however it sounds like I should :-) Lou
I had one car similar to this...a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham. A trim level above this one with no spoiler or hood pins but my car had a custom black-out grill. It was a huge car, measuring 21ft long. My car had a 440 Four Barrel Quadra Jet - super gas toilet The 440 was a balanced engine from an Imperial. Yes awesome indeed with my own expert detail and buff-out, it was stunning! I could easily peel off 20ft of rubber if I wanted to, while cruising at highway speed. The best riding car I ever owned. I'd love to build another one.
Hi merc1110, Thank you for viewing, sharing details one your like this one, and adding to the story, Lou
I always come to the All Chrysler National Show at Carlisle Fairgrounds since 1997.😎
Hi Michael, Fun place for sure. If you see me there, say hello, Lou
That is different from the 5 that I've seen, yes real '70 300H convertibles, documented out of the 505 built combined cars. Those cars did not have the large H on the quarter, and all of them were column shift! None of those had factory Cragars on it either, but hub caps or steel road wheels with trim rings. They were all painted the same way as this featured car is, same glass hood with rotary locks, same glass deck lid with spoiler, U code TNT mill, heavy duty goodies, etc. I had read many moons ago in a Chrysler enthusiast magazine that supposedly, 1 of the reasons the 300 Hurst editions as a whole never got into any serious production was that the corporate brass had already decided that the entire 300 line would be scrapped mid '71 in favor of concentrating on volume cars like the NewPort and the upcoming New Yorker Brougham. $ had already shifted away from the 300 program and left Hurst holding the bag. According to that article, which I wish I could find, a special center console was supposed to house the shifter, a first in a C body since 1968, as well as a different instrument cluster that included all gauges including a factory tach. It never happened. Very neat to see this piece of Mopar history!!!
Hi Adam, Glad you like this one :-) Thank you for sharing the details on the car. Hope you find many other cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
@ Lou, I've always wanted a real '70 300H for my collection, but have never found 1 that wasn't beyond saving. From what I've seen, not only was typical C body rust was an issue, ( unibody chassis included) but also the fiberglass components were likely to warp or crack, making the most unique parts of the package difficult to restore w/o spending big $. So kudos to all of the people that had kept this rare car in as good of shape as it is! Adam is damned jealous! LOL
I understand your enjoyment for this car. I too love so many cars and cannot afford all of them, so videoing them with the Owners (and having a fun time too) was the second best option. Bottom line - if I can't have them, at least I can remember the memory (and leave a historical legacy) with these videos on the Channel.
There is a second 1970 300 Hurst Convertible with 426 Hemi. I saw it in Ventura about ten years ago with the original owner.

Only 1 factory Hurst convertible was built.
Lou. You are the man with the best job in the world. I know Linda Vaughan. A great lady. The best person owns this rare car. He will always take care of it. Keep up the great work Lou. I was at the 2018 MCACN. Drove in the snow 850 miles to get there from Eastern Pennsylvania. Worth every mile.
Hi George Mattar, Happy to read you enjoying the cars on the Channel with me. Cool that you know Mrs. Hurst and hope you make it to MCACN this year too, Lou
That was so exciting! I loved every second of the story! The owner is a really nice guy, too!

Two tons of fun!! And the history. As, always, the best cars, and stories that go with them. Thanks so much, Lou.
Hi Fred and Debra MacDonald, Happy you enjoy this car :-) Appreciate the encouraging words, and you're welcome, Lou
Lou, as always great job. I still have my old Hot Rod and Motor Trend books from late 60's and early 70's. This car is in there with the huge Hurst Shifter on the back deck lid. And Linda standing there in her beautiful wardrobe. Thanks again Lou you always bring back good memories and great information for us.
Hi roobert19271, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Thank you for sharing those memories, and I appreciate your kind words, Lou
An amazing opportunity to see this car. Thanks!!!
Hi Gregg Hanson, Glad to read you enjoy this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile i was the kid in the 50's who could name and recognize every model and year of every American car, so your'e channel is a gold mine for me. .;.and so well done. But I had never heard of the 300 Hurst until I saw it here!!
Wow! What a score. Pays to do your homework. This is yet another example of legwork paying off. I hope to see this car some summer out and about in the Pacific NW.
This car is such a treat to video and share, thank you for commenting, Lou
Awesome. Trev is a true Car Guy!
Hi Matt Kustom Kostumes, Glad you found one you enjoy :-) Lou
This is an awesome car. And its a true unicorn 1 of one.
Its amazing this car survived I would really
want to drive it but thats probably not a good
idea. But it would be fun .👍

Once again you found a jewel.
Hi Tony, Happy to read this find is a "jewel" which I enjoy sharing with you :-) Lou
I was there at the show last year. My friends literally drug me away from the MOPARS, I was drooling over those so bad. I've owned many Mopars; 62 300-H long ram (bought in 86 for $1,500 not running, mild resto and sold for 8K running in 88) 1- 66 1/2 Charger w/Special Order 383 4X2 and 4 speed (was stolen, never recovered), 1- 67 Charger 440 4 speed (both were lightweights) totaled at the mall by a drunk driver while watching a movie, 73 340 Duster 4 speed (restored, then arson), 75 Duster w/Power Pak-6 (sold it), 75 Tradesman Maxi Extended "shagging wagon" (was in the movie The Van paid a grand, fixed it and sold it for 8K), 77 Cordoba Brougham w/650rwhp 444 stroker built it as a total sleeper, even the 15x9.5 rims had the Cordoba hubcaps held on by a threaded rod (stolen, recovered, rebuilt then totaled by getting T-boned by a drunk driver) 86 Omni GLH-S (ex-wife got that). NOW, the 3 Mopars that I've ALWAYS wanted but could never get a hold of were: That 70 300 HURST, another 70 model - the Sport Fury GT w/440 and a 58 Fury w/392 dual quad Hemi. Now how many guys would EVER pass up an opportunity to own Christine for themselves.
Hi DjJtown, Sounds like you had a good time as the show :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and adding to the story. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
That's the coolest land yacht I've ever seen!!! You could race in comfort with a few friends !! Love it !!
High praise & "All Aboard!" :-)
The , 70 Hurst model with the TNT 440. But for it to be a convertible makes this rolling Billboard a collector dream. Even though it was never produced. I am sure this car runs and drives like a land yacht. As we would call them in the late 60's and early 70's. My friends Mom had a dark green with a black top and a 383 engine two door. We would take it out on the weekend and run the piss out of it! Hole shots and brake torque them skinny tires TO DEATH! BUT TO SEE THIS CAR IN the Hurst model that would have been something to drive. 440 and a four barrel. Shawn
Hi Shawn Beck, Glad you enjoy the detail of this one :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I see so this Chrysler 300 is the grander version of Plymouth Fury!! Oh man that's true art!! That things can be dropped with 500-600 C.I heart and tell the people what's Hemi is like in full form!!
(If it's not 440 or your 440 is in bad shape)
Hi Ckryse S, "Oh man that's true art!!" High praise :-) Lou
Wow I seen this in about 1975 or 1976 it was a daily driver in Portland Oregon my wife worked for Janzen clothing as a seamstress and I would see it all the time in the parking lot I new at the time it was something special and yes it's the same car I remember looking it over several times first impression was wow I couldn't believe Hurst built this thing it was a big car you really had to see it why would they take a family car and try to make a performance car that was the wow factor I've always been a car guy I had a 1968 Hemi Roadrunner a/t it was forest green with black interior Beep Beep.

Best story on My Car Story. The cherry on the sundae. This captures what you are trying to do in presenting your series. Ever think of going to the AACA meet at Hershey, PA. and doing your videos. I like to see your work with the brass and nickel era cars. I would think you would some great stories among those owners
Hi Vincent Basso, I know you've been viewing the Channel for awhile now, so I happy to read your comment and glad you enjoyed this one. I met Lance Miller of Carlisle Events and I think he's a Super Guy so if I head East I might want to connect with him. Please share the reasons why you feel this is the "best story". Thank you, Lou
I t tells the entire story. The history of the car. When he first saw it in a magazine and desire to one day own it and finally achieving his goal. The story is full circle. It's epitomizes the very title of your videos...My Car Story. It also demonstrates the passion people have for cars. This story hits on every level....if i didn't explain enough, please fell free to ask further questions. I enjoy conversing with you
Hi Vincent, your explanation is perfect. Thank you, Lou
Lou, Happy Thanksgiving. Also, you can call me Vin or Vinnie. The Hurst is one of two. If that doesn't add to story, nothing else will !! Carlise is 60's and 70's muscle...... Hershey encompasses anything. You never know what you'll run into in the biggest antique flea market anywhere that runs for three days The show is on Saturday. People around the world come. A nice selection of brass and nickle era cars, that don't show up at car meets anymore. Almost everyone who knew these cars from their youth are gone. The people who show these cars are keeping history going. Many times you have family members carrying on traditions I think there are a lots stories to be told. Been to both. You know what you like...just a thought
Hi Vin, Happy Thanksgiving to you too, and thank you for sharing East Coast details, Lou
You did an Epic Fail when you did not mention the left and right vent levers for fresh air as well as ac. Try to find this feature on other cars. It can be done but is it easy? My 70' 300 4 door has a option for a AM/FM 8-TRACK and yes it works but i need an antenna cable. Got one handy, ha ha. But seriously thank you for all of your great reporting work.
Hi 13stevenj, I'll look for that. Thank you for viewing and commenting. I appreciate that, Lou
I have to admit, I was horrified when I saw the Cragar rims on this car! I thought: "How could he not keep such a rare classic all original?" But then he explained that they were part of the original Hurst package, and that Hurst and Cragar had an association. Guess we shouldn't jump to conclusions, right?
Hi 70Kenny, We all do that, so it's cool. I think the good part is you hung in there to find out why there were Cragars. Thanks for commenting and sharing, Lou
Was watching an episode of counting cars and actually saw one of these. Was owned by an older gentleman. You know how Count is he saw it while out looking for cars and stopped to look at it
Hi John Fitcheard, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
its too bad that Hurst couldn't get more packages into Mopars; but maybe Hurst and Oldsmobile just go better together anyways. I still think the Pistol Grip shifters that Chrysler put in their vehicles took the blue ribbon as far as looks and concept
Hi Mikko Salamander, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Nice job Lou. I love the specialty cars. 1 of 1, WOW ! Just don't see that every day. Bet Jay Leno would love to have that car, LOL Thanks man !
When walking into a car show it feels like finding a treasure when you get to video a car like this :-)
Gorgeous Chrysler ! Thanks Lou !
Hi Rudy, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great looking Hurst Lou ! The owner looks like your younger brother :) Thanks for posting !
Hi Uncle Rudy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) I can see why you'd say we looks like family. Regarding the post, you're welcome, Lou
I knew of it, I always wondered if it was still around. Thanks for sharing.
Hi red tomatoes, Glad to share this one with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
I really like the late 60' and early 70' Chrysler and Imperial styling! especially Thema tail end! Pretty cool car, thanks for the video, Lou! :-)
Hi HardwareTV, They keep getting better looking with age. My Pleasure, Lou
That's an excellent show
Agreed, one of the best :-)
hung out with Linda Vaughn today in Burbank ,Ca
Cool. Did you share the video with her? I (and I'm sure the Viewers) would like to hear her thoughts. Lou
Ahhhhh! Linda Vaughan, I forgot that name... Blast from the Past...I'll have to review the interwebs for some, ummm...."research";-)
Blonde bimbos don't age as well as old Mopars do...
Wow, Rare and Amazing!!

Are you aware that this is the only 1970 300H that got a standard 300 vinyl interior? All production 300H hardtops got a leather interior from the Imperial!! True!!
Big cushions too. And you could push a button on the floor to switch radio stations.
and all beige except this one

My Spirit of 76 Dart Lite had a Hurst 4 speed.
You Bet! Shawn
wiibaron yes if I recall your dart was a hatchback,....all white with red,blue pinstripping and a “Spirit of 76”. Did that have Levi Strauss seats like the AMC SCrambler?

Beautiful car!
Thank you Wayne Butt, glad you enjoyed this rare beauty :-)
It would be great if you could do another video of this Hurst someday. I love this car!
Hi Crazycar 401, Would be nice to do an "updated" video and have the car in motion driving by, and a ride too. Lou
Great car! Great review! We used to have a Town and Country wagon from ~1972 and it had the 440 in it. That thing was pretty damn fast back in the day! My Father used to crack me up when he'd hit the cruise control resume button from red lights. Yeah, modern cruise controls don't allow that, but it was pretty fun, especially when I was just a little kid.
Hi tscooter22, Clearly good memories :-) Thank you for sharing and adding to the story, Lou

Hahaha,Thanks Again: and if you're ever wondering what the Day and Month is Mr. Costabile (when reviewing a Mopar) : Just glance to the 2nd column past the 3-5 or 6 number (those are just sequence numbers) and you should see 3 digits (occasionally you will see a letter first telling you that the car was put together earlier last year like the 70 R/T Charger in the previous video...) Hahaha,Thanks Again.
Thank you for sharing, and good to know, glad you liked this one, so much fun to video and share a car like this, Lou
Lou Costabile Yessir! Hahahaha.
Well, I was expecting this car with the top down. But still it sure looks good and fast. 👍
Hi ivanthegreat1, Maybe on the second date :-) If I get the chance to video again, I'll see what I can do, Lou
This show in Illinois is like winning the lottery of cats to video. To say you are busy is a bit of an understatement I'm guessing. Good job though and thanks for showing us what we are missing.
Thank you Gene Still, This is one of my favorite shows of the year as every car there is eligible for a "My Car Story". This show I do the most preparation for then any other show I go to. It's just a blast to see these cars and meet the Owners and I hope you can make it out next November, Lou
Now this is a cool car indeed!
Hi Kramden, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Fun car to video and share, Lou

These 70s 300s are super boss and need more love from muscle fans. The fact u could get a 440 in em is cool as hell.
Hi Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Make sure you hit the "thumb up" too for this car, Lou
As a great GM fan I must admit this is one of the most beautiful designs. Ever.
I've talked to all the GM Guys. They were going to kick you out of the GM Club, HOWEVER I showed them this car and they all confessed they like this one too :-)
Count me in too. I am a dyed-in-the-wool GM guy, and as much as it pains me, I have to admit this is one of, if not the most beautiful cars I have ever seen, and I'm including the early 60's Jaguar E-type in that assessment.
Oh, and BTW, if I were to win $500 million in the lottery, I would make an offer on this car that he couldn't refuse.
Beautiful.
Hi gay conservative, Glad you like the looks of this one :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
I love your YT name because I am too!
beautiful elegant and a powerful monster = love pretty cars that really perform.
Hi Ronnie Boucher, Glad you like this one :-) Lou
Nice
Glad you enjoyed this one :-)
Gorgeous ❤
Hi Bob, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
A super rare gem of a Chrysler convertible. You'd think they could have installed a Plymouth or Dodge heavy duty 4 speed manual transmission that was Hurst's bread and butter money-maker, not a common TorqueFlite with a click click superfluous shifter. Oh well.
Glad you enjoy the rarity of this one dehoe disc :-)
Awesome, the original Cragers, rust and all.
Yes, it was a wonderful car to video and share. Thank you for viewing and commenting, Lou
The 440 Friends Super Bee Plymouth car I rode in one day, was where I learn or did my first "Sincere prayer".
Please God, slow this things down, as I looked at the speed-o needle ticking off the 150 MPH point..
True story!
I honestly did, I was scared!
And you're still here to tell the story. God heard you and is good.
What a badge of Honor, to own a one off of a manufactured production car.
Hi Wendell worth, Thank you for viewing and sharing a wonderful comment. Hope you see many cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
You know, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of all the cars Chrysler made, or presented for viewing. Until I saw your video, I had never even heard of this vehicle. Over the years, I have seen the Olds Hurst versions, but never the Chrysler.. Thank you for adding to my knowledge.
Hi wendell worth, I have a passion for cars and learn from every car I video from the Owners / Care Takers who share their knowledge. I'm happy to read you've learned, and you're welcome. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, and by the way, sometimes it's not the car you'll learn from, like this story. Enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/Rgi3lkdb7S4/v-deo.html
Don't know what to say, love these cars
Hi Al Cyr, Loving the cars is good enough for me :-) Glad you're enjoying the Channel, Lou
A few years ago I saw a short article about a Hurst convertible in a Mopar magazine. Love your channel, it's Mopar heaven, and I do watch other brands of your car videos. Love the first gen Cougars,
Hi Al Cyr, Thank you for the kind words that you "love your Channel". Also, you have great taste in cars :-) Lou
Never really cared for the steel slab sided Chryslers when I was young. I was a GM kid. But I like the old Chryslers more and more. They are simple and elegant compared to the multi-angled, plastic modern vehicles that all look alike.

Hi Lou, Is the tranny basically an automatic? The shifter gives you the option to shift it yourself?
Hi Steve, Seems to be, I did not get an opportunity to drive or ride in this one, Lou
I had the last coup made. Cool big old car. Theres a collector that bought it and he has atleast 1 of every year 55-70.
