Subject: August 13
Hi Folks,
Just a reminder that August 13 is the deadline for room reservations at
club
rates and for registering with the club for the meet. The meet host
really
needs lead time to make sure your meet is an enjoyable one. The concours
committee needs to know who is coming.
And today is the first of August. Time flies when it stops raining and
you
can get out and work on your 300's. And drive them too! But send in your
registrations.
Gloria Moon, treasurer

I feel like an idiot, but I'm trying to help sell off
a 1931 Chevy Sport Roadster from an estate and I have
no idea how to start it. Can anyone give me a hint?
(my300g@xxxxxxxxx) Thanks Gary

I think it would be nice to see a 300 Letter or otherwise at Watson Lake
this weekend. I do not think I have ever seen a 300 at the meet. It is an
easy, pleasant drive from Phoenix to (much higher and cooler) Prescott and
for that reason I guess draws a good number of street and resto rods that
make it up there on their own wheels.
I just realized that this is the weekend so decided to share.

now ready to sell. It is a beautiful car. 63,170 miles, white with light
blue interior, all original, all power, AC, $12,000
If anyone is interested, PLEASE CALL HER AT: 530-673-9032, Yuba City, CA
(40 miles north of Sacramento.)

Subject: supercharged 300C history?
A few years back I purchased the supercharged '57 300 C Coupe that is
apparently known by the club as the "Flying Mile Car". It was apparently
a
special order from the factory by Bacchus Chrysler on behalf of two
brothers
to be entered in something like the 'Man o Street' category of the '57
Daytone Beach time trials. (this was a category for non factory entries)
The car was built dec 28 '56, red, manual steering, auto trans, delete
most
other options, the only seeming non usual extra being factory seat belts,
which end with galv cables bolted to the floor.
What I was told was car ran on the Beach, locked the motor just under 150
mph going into the flying mile on the second run due to the dealer and
owners not having time in the only few weeks after delivery to solve the
blower leaning out the carbs on long power runs before Daytona just weeks
later in early '57.
Briggs Cunningham was apparently at the meet, and after talks, then took
the
motor, and apparently set the motor up on a dyno he had (something he had
to
do with his Chrysler motor Cunningham sports racer attempts at Le Mans?),
and the car was then campaigned at the drags, never losing a race.
The brothers kept the car afterwards, probably finally using it on the
street, most likely running it then without the blower belt, breathing
normally.
All the numbers still match, car has old tacho, boost guages, twin elec
pumps where battery was, battery in trunk as per original, shows about
55,000 miles, came with multiple hand written notes, re such as correct
jet
sizes to put back with blower belt refitted, plus McCulloch typed out
instructions re fitting 300C with blower kit, etc.. The car has had a
quick
paint job and rust spot bodge up, wrong new headlining, but seat leather
still original but very dry, it responding to leather treatments so it can
be left original.
I have other cars, so until now the car has only been driven by me every
few
months. With belt on, it needs the box that Cuningham made to fully
surround/enclose the carbs, plus the bigger jets, as otherwise it runs
lean,
needs the manual choke just to make t run on 8. I spent some time
cleaning
the bendix pump filters, setting the carbs, etc, and it really hauls hard
even without the blower belt on, and seems like maybe has a medium ratio
diff, not the original/normal 3.2 whatever ratio.
I am now ready to get serious about getting ther car back to it's
Cunningham
set up form, see how the car would have gone over Daytona flying mile had
it
not been starving for fuel.
Does anyone over there have any more early days detail/photos, leads to
anyone who may know more?? I emailed Cunningham a couple of years ago,
but
never got a response. Maybe even a lead to who worked for him back then,
they would be sure to remember the car - red '57 300Cs back early in "57
were pretty rare, not to mention having it's new supercharged hemi motor
set
up on his dyno ??!!
