Subject: Classic and Old Car transport available.
Hi all;
Rene and Donene Kroeger are delivering 3 old chevvies to Florida as I write
this. He should be there Thurs or so. He will be leaving FL empty, heading
back to Iowa. He can move 1 or 2 cars for anyone who needs him and you can
probably cut a good deal, depending on how far out of the way he has to go.
He's been hauling cars for over 10 years full time, and is well liked by all
who he's dealt with. He's hauled 4 for me over the years, 1/2 way across the
country. Open trailer, but they take great care with the cars, they are car
people, and have many in their collection.
So if any of you along the way or in the Southern States needs transport
right now, or were planning on it and can make it happen now, call him on
his cell phone: 515-314-1942..........You'll use him again!

Hi club;
I watched with interest the discussion centering around letter cars from the
50,s and 60,s in the British Columbia Canada's countryside . Unless you
were John D. Rockefeller's kid hiding out in Canada for someone unknown
reason. You would be hard pressed to come up with the kind of money that was
needed to buy a new 300 . Hence the reason when I was a kid why I bought a
used one from the T. Eaton family who qualified at the time with having
enough money ( about 800,000,000.00 ) Bear in mind you boys from Canada that
to get a US car you had in addition to the extra cost, pay an import duty ,
it varied during those days but upwards of 22% if you wanted to bring a new
( you couldn't import used ) car across the border . A Chevy Bel Air, which
seems to be the car that everyone in this country for some unknown reason
does cart wheels for , cost $ 1947.00 , Your were over 6 grand to get a
letter car , plus the duties. We all knew at the time they were hot, real
hot and US cars tended to have a far better cosmetic look then ours but you
got what you could afford . I remember chasing a guy with an (F) Michigan
plate about 50 miles so I could ask him at the time if he might let me look
inside his car . Now you can move the iron north of the 49th with ease ,
problem is all the good stuff is south of the 49th.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area and just looked for some local events
that you might be interested in. All I found at the end of February was an
Auction and Car Show at the Abbotsford Tradex center (about an hours drive
outside of downtown Vancouver). http://www.fvtradex.com or
http://www.abbotsfordcollectorcarshow.com will give you some idea of what to
expect.
The availability of rare Chryslers is very limited in Canada it seems and
most of the Hemi cars, Ram cars, etc. we see at shows here have come from
the U.S. in recent years. There are lots of nice Antiques, Vintage, and Hot
Rods in B.C. but many of them are seldom seen at shows in Vancouver.
Unfortunately, unless you happen to know someone here with a letter car you
will likely never see one, much less find one in a barn. I've only ever
layed eyes on two my entire life. As for wreckers, there really isn't much
in the area either. The only real 'Mopar only' wrecker is mostly full of
rusty B, E and A bodies along with a few 4 door C bodies (usually from the
70's). Not exactly Chrysler paradise though the sites are worth the trip
alone, especially if the weather is nice.
I'll see if I can find any more events or think of anything car related that
might interest you. There are at least three members here, myself included,
maybe we could get together?

Subject: interior door piece for 57C
Hello group,
While putting together the door panels for my 57C, I have discovered that I am missing one piece of stainless for the passenger door panel (this can happen when buying a car that has already been taken apart).
It is the forward-most piece of stainless that 'points' at the black vinyl band which seperates the black carpet from the tan vinyl below the power window switch.
Is this unique to the 300? Or, is it also available from some other make of Mopar? Anyone have an extra (I don't know why)?
I'm also missing the drivers side piece of metal that holds the kick panel in place at the drivers feet.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Subject: '65 ball joints
Hi folks,
Can anyone please direct me to a source for new arm and ball joint packages for my '65 NY'er( same as 300L)? I replaced both sides about 3 yrs ago with new parts, from a well known seller of suspension parts in NJ. The new right side ball joint was too sloppy after 10000 miles to pass inspection, so I put the 'old' one back on. Now, the left side had bit the dust, after about 15000 miles. I tried NAPA, but no dice. These parts are # 2525450 (right) and # 2525451 (left).
Maximum axial play according to the service manual should not exceed .050". These near new ones have near a quarter inch of slop! Allegedly made in Canada.
Any leads appreciated ......
Dave in New Zealand.

> You might want to try Just Suspension as they claim to use Moog parts. Were yours from Kanter? If so, I have wondered about them as a club member a few years back said they admitted they obtained theirs from overseas. I hear PST also has these parts, but do not know if they claim they are US made. Just Suspension is usually higher priced than PST, but not sure if that is indicative of anything or not.

Hi Dave,
I called Rare Parts in Stockton, CA on your behalf . They have new,
definitely made "in-house", replacement ball joints for your '65 Chrysler
New Yorker. Their part numbers are: 10166 and 10167 . Cost: $88.22 per
side. They will ship overseas, providing they are given a credit card
number. Their phone : 1 800 621-2005
I have always been happy with the quality of the product received from them.
They also excel at rebuilding front-end components such as center links,
idler arms, etc.. and they have an extensive inventory.
John

Subject: C300
Over the last few weeks I agreed to buy a black C300 from a guy in
Georgia.The owner told me the car was complete including the air
cleaner.A week or so ago he sent me a letter saying the air cleaner had
been misplaced,now he says he can't find it.I sold a batwing to a fellow
club member for$800.00 but had offers of $1000.00.SO if the present
owner will lower the price at least$800.00,I am going to go ahead with
the sale.HE did agree to return my money if we can't work out a deal.I
want to restore this car properly so if any club member can give me a
lead on a batwing I would be very thankfull.Also a friendly question was
raised in Dayton about what tires came on the C300's,Goodyear
supercushions like some of the early adds state or Goodyear bluestreaks
which every 55 service manual calls for.Ron Stewart who lives here in
Akron has a C300 with 12,000 or so miles.He bought this car in 74 and it
still has two original 800 15 blue streaks on it.The original owner
replaced the other two with super cushions sometime in the sixties.IF
someone can help on the air cleaner please contact me at
jslayton@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks Johnnie Slayton

Subject: Email troubles no mo'
Greetings all!
Thanks to all who called and assisted me concerning my balky email provider. If I was a little more "computer literate" and not so stubborn I wouldn't have had the problem! First three callers told me exactly how to solve the problem and I have it written down now so when it happens again I can fix it without help. Thanks to all who called and offered assistance. Things like this make this a great club to be in and I feel I have more friends than I can ever hope to meet- remember if you are ever in Montana- The Last Best Place-be sure to stop at the yard and enjoy the scenery- both of the type made by Chrysler's and God's making! Watching the sun go down over the continental divide just west of us is a awe inspiring sight somedays, like today. Again thanks to all and please excuse the rambling.(as usual)
Joe Pierce 300Kx3+M+others....
