least expensive and very competitive way to get into vintage racing like the Mille Miglia, Le Mans Classic, and Targa Florio... or car events like the Grand National Roadster Show, a '29 Chrysler model 77 Le Mans Roadster

for less than $100,000, this Chrysler will get you access to the word's best historic rallies, races and tours and provide you with one of the most reliable, competitive and beautiful pre-war vehicles ever built!

This Chrysler is able to out perform and certainly able to out-brake the similar era Bentley, Alfa and Bugatti's with incredible reliability and simplicity and it does so at less than 1/10th the price!

Unlike the significantly more expensive Bentley-Bugatti-Alfas of the day, the Chrysler 77 featured full-four-wheel, self adjusting, double leading-shoe hydraulic brakes, both front and rear. The front axle is tubular and under-slung giving both excellent handling and impossibly good braking that the owner's of the other three mentioned machines only dream about having! This Chrysler "show-room" ready racer also features simple but full weather protection as well as a sporting, full-folding front wind-screen and an extremely user-friendly, four-speed gearbox rather than the compromising three-speed units usually found on many of the other machines of this era.

In short, this is an all "matching numbers" completely documented, rust and accident free, road-race-car that can be driven every day in the "rear world," toured with and rallied as well as raced competitively in the finest events world-wide.

And it's in need of a new home,
