Hi All,
I have researched this for 300Gs, and would have to
agree with Roger 100%. There are a few clear engine
shots of Gs from road tests and press release photos
of the day which support this. Makes sense the F would
be the same.

Hello everyone over there.
I have my stickers the "crazy way" , meaning that I can see one of
them but nearly not the other one. I don't know if the cleaners are
repainted
but maybe Dave (Schwandt) know. I don't think they are. The stickers looks
very old.
If anyone want a picture of them from different sides, just tell me
and I'll be glad to send them to you from my digital camera, no
problems.....
Best regards.... Johan 300-G conv.

Subject: Re: What is it?
Hi Louis,
There was some discussion of this car on this 300 list several months ago.
This 300F went through the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ in
January 1999. I was there and personally talked with the owner (Someone
else on the list says that the owner is in the East Bay area of San
Francisco) just prior to the auction. The owner described the car as one
of
only four Terra Cotta 300F convertibles made; and more than likely, the
only
survivor! Several members of this list disputed that claim by pointing
out
themselves or someone else who currently owns a Terra Cotta 300F
convertible.
I have a 300F Terra Cotta hardtop (so I know what the Terra Cotta color
looks like), and this 300F convertible is not close to the Terra Cotta
color. The color is accurately shown on the Automaniacs site as a mauve
like color with a definite purpleish tint. The color is actually quite
close to the 1961 Chrysler Dubonnet color, which I believe was not
available
in 1960.
I did not see this 300F convertible go through the auction, but someone
else
said that the auctioneer described it as a "made car", which I interpret
to
be a hardtop that was modified into a convertible. Nevertheless, this
300F
was bid up to somewhere around $55,000 to $60,000. It did not sell;
apparently because of a higher reserve price. I saw this car listed a few
months ago for around the $56,000-$58,000 range. I think that it was on
the
www.traderonline.com site. Thus, it may be available for considerably
less
than the upper $70,000 figure as advertised on the Automaniacs site. Best
regards, Jim
