The video is not as crisp as I would like but I had to convert the file from my sony handycam. My only video of my old chrysler I had back in high school, please refer to the introductory video for a much more detailed description on this car. The one thing that I wanted to point out is that this car had a full memphis sound system except for the sub which was taken out by the people that bought it and we repossessed it from, so I put a 12″ Xplod in it in order to sell the car. Also another mod (for all you 300M lovers out there) I bought a set of tail lights from a 2002 300M and replaced them since they look sooo much betterthis is after I “restored” it back to life from the terrible shape that the people left it (again, refer to previous video!!!) Please rate this and feel free to comment this car is very personal to me so that’s why it’s taken me succcchhhhh a long time to upload it!
