Rare car assembled in Australia from January to March 1962. Only 1008 (672 three speed manual, 336 three speed push button auto) of these were built before the more common S series Took over.
The engine is the classic 225 cu in. (3.68 L) slant-six inline-six (overhead valve) engine delivering 145 hp/ 109 kW. You can’t get much more original than this! This Black R series had a stunning ‘clear’ professionally applied by ‘Deluxe Kustoms’ in 2024 maintaining and highlighting her historic ageing and red undercoat. Her chrome work is in a fair to good condition and boasts 4 original Chrysler hubcaps. Original drivers side mirror and original tow bar. The interior also received a clever overhaul in 2024 keeping but improving its original vinyl styling. The owner decided however, to finish the interior metal work in matching black. The beautifully preserved red vinyl trim now really pops. This R series has its original heater core with the left side of the instrument cluster housing rare heater control sliders. The previous owner and current owner always kept this 3 speed ‘TorqueFlite’ push button auto garaged.
