Good guess (I presume you’re an old Chrysler nerd like me then), this is actually the 300F GT Special, which had different intake manifolds along with some different mods for a total of 400 HP. (at the engine.) (parentheses)

Which is pretty insane for a factory car from 1960.

Also has a 4-speed manual (yay) from a Facel Vega for you can shift in addition to trying to keep the thing from marshmallowing into a ditch

400, apparently! Pretty wild for 1960.

400? That’s a good number for a 55 year old car.

Remember that that’s gross. Probably works out to 275 or so net.... There’s no real set formula though.

Right! It doesn’t really compare to today’s cars, but considering all 1960 cars were measured like this, it still comes out to a lot of HP.
