Terrific and rare car owned by Don Petty (Richard's cousin). He had a crowd the entire time around this car. There were only about a dozen of these put together. This has the 413 cu. in. "long-short ram" induction system with 2 four barrels and develops 400 HP. The car has a console mounted FOUR speed. Chrysler did not have an appropriate 4 speed for all of this torque, so they went to the French to provide this. Lines on this car are other-worldly. The dash instrumentation is known as the "juke box" configuration. My photo has some glare, but it is a very unique way to present engine data. Mr. Petty has an extensive collection of '300' cars including a convertible twin to this.
