1960 Chrysler, 300F 2-dr convertible, V-8

300F SERIES - (8-CYL) - The sixth edition of the letter series 300 continued its tradition as a high-performance vehicle. Besides the all-new styling and Unibody construction, big improvements in engineering were evident with the unveiling of a Ram Induction manifold option. Ram-tuning had long been a means of raising torque and horsepower for drag racing. Chrysler engineers adapted this idea, with cross-over ram induction manifolds which placed one bank of cylinders carburetor on the far side of the opposing bank of cylinders. No longer were the carburetors placed inline, between the cylinder heads, as on previous dual carbureted 300s. Two horsepower versions were available in 1960 (see engine section) and a few cars were built with the French Pont-A-Mousson four-Apeed gear boxes. All New Yorker standard features were included on the 30OF plus power swivel seats. White sidewall Nylon tires were standard.

30OF SERIES I.D. NUMBERS: Serial numbers and engine numbers were found in the same locations as on previous models. Serial numbers began with 8403-100001 and up. Engine numbers were identical to the New Yorker series. All 300s were built in Detroit.
