I assume that by "H" you mean Hurst?

The Chrysler 300 H letter car was produced in 1962.

 

A little confusing, so you might want to clarify.

I understand, but the Hurst model was called a "Hurst 300".

Your caption says "300 H", which is this car.

 

Just thought that it would be worth clarifying.

Revell or Moebius should do a 1970 tool to start...they could offer both a "regular" 300, and a Hurst 300...hardtop and convertible variants of both (I read about at least 1 Hurst 300 convertible having been built...)...these kits could appeal to Mopar C Body fans as well as Hurst completists. I think they would have some appeal to builders who don't normally love Mopars, too...I think this could be a good seller, worth developing.

OK, the so the new guy digs up an old thread...  Drives everybody a little nuts.. Right?  Been an admin on a couple forums and used to see this regularly.  

But here I am... LOL! 

I was wondering if anything came of this.

One of my real cars is a '70 300 convertible and I'd love to build a model of it. I have a work in process '70 300 Hurst that I 3D printed but haven't found a good 70 300. I did buy a STL file of a '70 300 hardtop, but it wasn't anything that would print very well. 

The WIP 300 Hurst.  It still needs some detailing and clear coat, but it's coming along.  

And the real car...

John....sweet cars (both the model and the 1/1).  A '69 300 Convertible is one of my dream cars.  (I drove a nearly new 1969 Town and Country in my junior/senior years of high school).

Juha Airo did a resin casting master of a 1970 300 hardtop a long time ago, and Art Anderson (AAM) did some castings of it before he ran into trouble with business.  Later on, a couple of other casters did them as well (thought to be copies of the original).   More recently, AirTrax (overseas) has done a '69 300 transkit.  I have all of these, they are very nice but the overall proportions seem just a tad off to me.  Still well worth it if you could find a sample on the auction site....TB  i

FYI - Andrey Bezrodny offers a 3D printable model -see the link below. I haven't printed it, just found it the other day while cruising the site. So I can't offer any opinions on the scale.

I used his STL file to print the 300 Hurst model.
