00:00 Hello, I'm Dwight McGuire from Louisville, Kentucky on the Hot Rod Power Tour 2004.
00:15 I've got a 1964 Chrysler 300 Ram K Convertible.
00:20 I just purchased the vehicle last February, sight unseen other than black and white picture
00:26 on the internet.
00:27 The only thing I knew about this car was it was a rust free California car and the motor
00:33 wasn't locked up.
00:34 He said he could turn it over with a wrench.
00:36 The car took about two or three weeks to get to me and then I had some friends come over
00:41 and they were curious so we took it out and disconnected the fuel line, got the old Kentucky
00:45 milk jug gas tank, put a new battery in it, exported some oil in the cylinders.
00:50 On the third crank the car actually fired.
00:52 I got the original Chrysler motor which makes it rare, one of 58 made according to the Chrysler
00:57 statistician and one of 19 survivors.
01:00 And then just to make an interesting story, here on the third day of the power tour I
01:04 stopped at a little junkyard in Nowater, Oklahoma and after I had any old cars there just had
01:11 to take a break and let the old things cool off and he said he had an old Chrysler wagon
01:15 back in the back so we walked back and it turned out to be a '64 Chrysler wagon the
01:20 same thing as my other two.
01:22 I'm hoping to maybe make a 300 station wagon since wagons are so popular these days and
01:28 I've got an extra set of rams that came with this car so I'm going to try to make it a
01:32 300k station wagon.
01:35 That's my plan and I'm just having a ball.
01:38 This is one of the greatest events and as I told the gentleman today this has probably
01:42 been the best day of my life.
01:43 I've never taken a whole week and gone anywhere in my working years and it's worth every penny.
01:48 I'm getting six miles to go on this car so I don't know if they put my name here.
01:53 You can look me up in the phone book and send any cash donation to reimburse me for this
01:57 tour will be appreciated.
