However the VIN & The Door tag do match. It is possible that the fender tag or the fender itself has been replaced. Rest assured according to the VIN this is a TRUE Chrysler 300.
It is equipped with the 360-4V high performance engine rated at 195 HP, and the 3-speed Torque Flite automatic transmission and dual exhaust. There is 143,490 miles according to the title. It is a clear title and mileage is actual. Don't let the miles scare you, there is plenty of power left in the engine. It runs great, it drives great. A real fun car. Does it leak oil? Yes about the size of a nickel when it sits over night.
Mostly all original except for one repaint and an aftermarket radio with cassette. The interior is in good condition for its age. Both front bucket seats show some age, but have no rips. The back seat has some fading on both ends of the bench seat. The carpet is original and has held up well. The door panels have been touched up at one point and show some peeling in some spots. The dash is in great shape no cracks. All guages work great. The headliner is nice and straight, no sagging. The digital clock on the dash works great. The AC will need to be serviced, it blows a little on the warm side. It has the 2 spoke steering wheel equipped with tilt option.
The exterior is in great condition. The paint is nice. Paint color is Spinnaker White. I would rate it at a 7 out of 10. Minor chips or door dings. The chrome and stainless held up very well. The rear bumper is showing some fading on the top side. The front bumper is in much better condition. No signs of heavy bodo on the exterior. Lower fenders, lower doors, wheel wells, lower quarters all look great. The trunk pan appears to have had some kind of repair ( See Pictures). The graphics are in great shape. There were some added 300 decals to the doors ( not original). Newer tires added about 2 years ago. They are Grand Am Radial GT 225/70R15. There is no paperwork with the car or Owners manual.
