The Lone 1993 Chrysler 300 Concept Is Available Again
The Chrysler 300 was originally built in the 1950s, coming out in 1955. However 30 years back there wasn’t a Chrysler 300 in production except for one unique prototype that has found its way to being on sale for purchase. This unique prize is now listed in the Hemmings classified with quite the remarkable price of $35,000. For the record, readers can opt for the 2023 Chrysler 300 for about the same cost, so if they want a new vehicle rather than an aged-prototype, buyers can make their choice.
The 300 is one of Chrysler brand’s most memorable nameplates. The original run for the Chrysler 300 lasted till 1971 and another production year in 1979. Chrysler revived the 300 name back in 1999 as a tribute to that first run.
The 1993 Chrysler 300 Prototype On Sale
This prototype is available from the first-generation LH sedan platform, the exact one used with the Chrysler Concorde. The 1993 Chrysler 300 concept has the upright taillights, however a very different front-end treatment incorporating round headlights and a new grille, plus a custom interior with Italian Bronze and Black leather upholstery. The 1993 concept provides a 3.5-Liter V6 and a 4-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive.
Currently located in Minot, North Dakota, the classic Chrysler ride only carries 1,000 miles on the odometer is fully able to drive, according to the listing. This vehicle was actually sold 17 years after it was built back in 2010 with only 300 miles on the odometer back then. The claim to fame is the $145,000 (in 1993 dollars) price point.
Next Moves For Chrysler 300
Before Chrysler moves the 300 as an EV ride in the future plans of Stellantis making more EV vehicles. Despite being successful, the 300 has aged and will see an update or change. Luckily for fans of the Chrysler 300, there are some nice changes made to the 300. The 2023 Chrysler 300C by comparison today offers the 6.4-Liter V8 and limited production run of a mere 2,200 vehicles to mark the end of production and the last of the current generation that has been around for over a decade.
