My grandfather bought this car in 1995 with the assistance of Reggie Jackson (baseball legend and classic car collector).
The car had been in storage ever since. It's been recently serviced and runs great!

Here's a list of the previous owners of the '70 300 Hemi Convertible in order of ownership:
First Owner - Anthony Boccaccio ordered the car new from a dealer in New Jersey. Research seems to indicate he bought the car and had a Chrysler dealership in Bristol, Tenn. convert the 300 from the 440 V8 it came with from the factory to a 426 Hemi with assistance from Hurst Performance. The conversion was reportedly quite difficult and complex and required true experts to pull it off - which they did! Boccaccio sold the car in the early 80's. We've tried to contact Mr. Boccaccio or members of his family to verify information about the Hemi conversion. So far, we have not been able to verify the story.
Second Owner - Steve McCloud is the one who bought it from Boccaccio. He lived in Knoxville, Tenn. McCloud, a well known Chrysler collector, also owned the famous 1 of 1 Factory built 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst Hemi Convertible known to exist. That car is known as the 'Parade Float' appeared all over the country during promotional tours and included a platform for the iconic Miss Hurst, Linda Vaughn, to stand on. McCloud also owned this car, a "Special Edition" version with a black interior and was born a T-code 350hp engine. He owned this car for a short time and sold it to focus his collection on 'Factory Built' Chryslers.
Third Owner - Dr. Guy Reed bought the car around 1990 and started a six month restoration of the car at Buck Herron's Collector's Restorations, Inc. in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Fourth Owner - J. Johnston purchased the car on June 4, 1995 from the Dr. Reed Collection through Leake Auction in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Leake promoted the car as a "One-off custom by Hurst." Mr. Johnston's grandson inherited the car and is the current owner.
Put all of this together and it's a car with a lot of history.
