The 300G is considered significant as it was the last letter car designed by Virgil Exner and the last to be powered by the 413ci V8 with long tube Ram Air induction. This stunning example received an 18-month restoration that was finished in 2016. Color changed from its original Alaskan White to Mardi Gras Red. It is powered by its original 413ci V8 engine with Ram Air induction, dual Carter 4-barrel carburetors, 3:23 Sure-Grip rear axle and 3-speed TorqueFlite push-button automatic transmission, power steering, brakes and windows are standard equipment. Air conditioning, radio, power seat and Sure-Grip were optional equipment. Since the high-dollar cosmetic, mechanical and electrical restoration, less than 200 miles have been put on the vehicle.
