For those that don't know Kiekhaefer is known for starting Mercury outboards.

"See Racing into history"

Says that he was winning so much that people lost interest?

300s are cool, having owned some. most people think it is a slow race car. Chrysler didnt call it a race car, they called it a gentleman's performance car. it was the first American production car to make 300 hp, 1955. the engine was 331 ci or 354 ci, cant remember.

300 hp in those days was a lot of HP....... I would love to see an old 300.

toilboy123 all you have to do is google lettered 300. the lettered 300 was made from 1955 to 1965. these are the real 300s, the rest are NOT real 300s. i wish i could afford one now days
