Subject: red "G" convert - clone for sale

Hi to all,

 Any interest in buying a (nice) red 300G convertible clone ?

 A few weeks ago, on my  way to the Chrysler 300 Club Inc. meet in
Phoenix,
I detoured through Las Vegas to check over the red "G" convertible clone,
8413201800, that was advertised for sale on eBay.  My expenses for this
detour were paid for by a Club member who had some interest in purchasing
it, but has since decided not to.  I had no interest in this car myself. I
evaluated the car thoroughly and road-tested it about ten miles. I took
many
pictures which can be viewed at:
http://www.crossrams.com/gclone/Gclone.html

 The price for this car, at the time I checked it over, was about $55,000
.
The owner called me yesterday to let me know that, at this time, and for a
period of two weeks only, he has lowered the price to $40,000 firm, as he
needs the funds for some other venture. IF not sold quickly for that
amount,
he will keep it, he says.

If any of you are interested in purchase, and would like my observations
about this car, feel free to ask, I will e-mail you my report and contact
information ! No, I have absolutely no stake in this matter whatsoever.
Just passing on this info in case someone is interested. My expenses to
evaluate the car have already been paid for, and the report is free to any
or all !

John

            While he does not specifically refer to 1965 models, the 
following comment is found on the last page of Galen Govier's "Chrysler 
Corporation Production Option Code Book, 1966 - 1968" :

            "I have found it is all too common to find vehicles with the 
following problem: The radiator support should be painted black behind the

grille on light and medium colored cars. This is not necessary on vehicles

painted dark green, dark blue, maroon, burgundy, and black."

            Judging from the medium color of your very nice looking 300,
it 
seems your eyes did not deceive you. I would paint the support black.

                                    300F'ly,

                                    Roger Karlson

 Subject: Front of radiator support on a '65 300 - Body color or Black?
 
 On my '65 300 Convertible, I had the radiator support painted in the
 car's body-color at the time. I do remember it being the same color as
 the body was originally. (Although I chose a different color than the
 car originally had.)
 But I can't help wondering if it really should be like that. Because
 when I look at the car from the front, through the grille, I think it
 looks kinda "strange" to see the body-color next to the black-radiator
 in the middle.
 I've got a picture of what I mean here:

 Got some more pics on my homepage if you're interested:

 Have I been staring too long at my own cars or what?   :o)
 
 Best regards,
