CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
I present for auction my beautiful 1960 Chrysler Saratoga one of only 4,099 produced. Far fewer in this color combination. You are looking at one of the finest frame-on restorations ever done on a classic car. You would be hard pressed to find another as good a condition as this motor car. She is literally one of the very best! In 1960 Chrysler proudly displayed their new slogan in the original brochure for this motor car which was… "The car of your life, for the time of your life”. You cannot drive down the road without all heads turning, people waving and multiple thumbs up signs as just about everyone stops to stare and appreciate one of Chrysler’s most spectacular motor cars that appears to be ready to launch into the air at any moment. This very rare motor car was being restored to show. However, circumstances have since changed and due to personal illness this beautiful motor car will not be able to go and win any awards at classic car shows. If you ever wanted a spectacular looking motor car that could also be a driver not just a trailer queen, this may very well be the classic car for you.WHY PAY $150,000 to $250,000 FOR A 2 DR LETTER 60 SARATOGA WHEN YOU CAN BUY THIS ONE FOR UNDER $31,995!This car has only traveled 53,910 original miles following a thoroughly exhaustive, detailed, body-on-chassis 6 month restoration which was completed in early November of 2019. Great meticulous attention to detail has left no stone unturned in the quest to bring this classic car back to jaw dropping showroom condition, all the while being mindful to maintain the accuracy and authenticity of one of Chrysler’s roll out of their "top of the line" motor cars in 1960. Chrysler's lineup for 1960 had some of the wildest fins, longest lines and most avant garde interiors of all time. Virgil Exner's “Forward look” cars were taken one step further after every other automaker had toned down their lines. I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY REBUILT THIS WEEK BY AN EXPERT IN CLASSIC MOTOR CAR TRANSMISSIONS. The highly lauded and justifiably famous automatic push button three speed Torque-Flite transmission shifts gears with total silence and is imperceptible smooth as it transmits the enormous torque potential of the 383 cubic inch Wedge engine. This is the most desirable of 1950's-60's American automobiles possessing the most unique body styles along with exterior & interior colour combination from the MoPar years of the rarest of rare cars and the best of best Chrysler had to offer at the time. This gorgeous automobile sometimes considered a rolling piece of art is ready to be enjoyed with pride. She commands attention and this is a very rare opportunity to own and enjoy an extremely rare example of a stunningly designed beautiful classic motor car. She has been thoroughly road tested and passed all stages with flying colors. Extensive research was undertaken to achieve authenticity to investigate all resources for exact seat pleat pattern replication, correct thread color, correct thread stitching all with the utmost precision. This 1960 Chrysler Saratoga is breathtakingly beautiful! This car has the desirable color scheme of Oyster white and blue acrylic paint exterior with light blue and dark blue interior accents. It is a highly optioned car loaded with all factory offered features such as power steering, power brakes, new steering wheel with a new old stock horn ring and cap, original Golden Tone radio, (not operation at this time, but overhead light works) and brand new Diamondback Classic wide whitewalls which while new are not original OEM tires. All body panel gaps, fit and finish are perfect. The badges, emblems and door handles are all in excellent condition. The grill badge in particular is factory original white/black (not red/black) which is to factory specs on this model Saratoga. The factory correct color scheme of Oyster white multi-layered acrylic lacquer paint has been meticulously and thoroughly hand rubbed resulting in the most exciting combination offered for 1960 Chryslers consisting of beautiful shimmering light & dark blue interior seats, door panels, armrests. This is all set off with spectacularly contrasting new blue cut-pile carpet, seats, a new softly padded dashboard together with new di-electrically embossed silver “record groove” mylar door panel inserts. A new factory correct headliner with color scheme off white was also installed with matching off white sun visors and new interior ceiling bezel & lenses. The exterior paint finish is original and although excellent and quite beautiful in it's mirror-like, glass smooth as well as it's deep finish it isn’t Concours perfect.However, if you look long and hard you may find a few very minor imperfections the overall exterior paint would still be called excellent it would not meet the extremely highest standards known to classic car collectors as “Concours”. Since her restoration this beautiful motor car has only driven in sunny weather and has only been stored in totally dry climate and controlled conditions. All exterior chrome and stainless trim pieces follow body contours precisely and with perfectly even gaps through-out. The exterior is beautifully complemented by the gorgeous hand-crafted interior using the highest quality NOS throughout. No one has smoked cigarettes or cigars in this car, nor have pets or young children been permitted to enter or ride in it. You would be hard pressed to say the least to find another 1960 Chrysler Saratoga 4 dr hardtop in this exceptionally excellent condition anywhere in the world. These fine motor cars were made in a new specifically designed manufacturing facility to produce cars at an exceedingly slow assembly line rate which gave workers ample opportunity to make these cars to Chrysler’s highest specifications. These were truly America's most carefully built automobiles in 1960. She has the original “Golden Lion” 383 cubic inch wedge engine which was thoroughly proven as one of Chrysler's most reliable and enduring engines.Much research of factory sourced information has culminated in this superlative reconstruction of a completely original, high quality, low mileage 1960 Chrysler Saratoga. Every effort has been made to return this motor car back to like new condition. This is a highly sought example of a much desired automobile. This very distinctive and exclusive automobile of unqualified and unique pedigree is being offered globally as well as in the United States. Note: All photos shown for this acquisition of this special classic motor car are true and accurate.
