1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst
The 1970 Chrysler 300-Hurst was not a return of the fabled letter-series 300s, but a specially produced non-letter 300 hardtop built by Hurst Performance Products and sold through Chrysler dealers.Chrysler Cars Image Gallery

Features included special road wheels, wider-than-stock tires, the 375-bhp version of Chrysler's big-block 440 V-8, heavy-duty suspension, and, of course, a Hurst shifter for the standard
Torque Flite automatic. The exterior was
dressed up by a snazzy gold and white paint
job, twist-lock hood tiedowns, a subtle scoop
at the rear of the hood near the cowl, and a
loop-type rear spoiler.
