driving a 300 C versus 300F, and values are?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxx>]

Yesterday it was just over 44 degrees celcius here in Adelaide South 
Australia, so blame the weather for the questions, it did not affect driving 
my 300 C one bit.

1. is there a noticeable difference in the way a 300 C drives versus the 
later unitary body F ?
Is the F a way nicer/better car to drive - my 300 Cs are great ( a real 
blast, very confident drivers) except their power steering is nowhere as 
nice as say '59 and later Cadillac/Saiginaw? A guy not far from here has 
imported/driven both, and contrary to normal? - says a 300 C on radials 
perhaps is the better drive than later unitary ones?!
2. does the '58 300 D (and later) power steering have more feel, self 
centering,if let wheel go after turning - the C steering gives little idea 
what the front wheels/tires, are doing in turns? Is there any solution to 
giving the C more feel?
3. re recent Barrett Jackson comment - how does one value 300 Cs - (a) what 
is fair value for a straight rust free unrestored Coupe/ convertible, do 
many possibly still exist in this condition? (b) how many real original (low 
miles?) straight rust free 300 Cs, that you would not restore, are known 
of/approx - value of these verseus restod?
4. how does the value of a real good original car compare to that of say 
390hp cars?

I realise there are no definitive answers, but from over here in Australia, 
it would be good to see if you/club members, have some sort of handle, idea, 
on recent sales/trends.
When people over here ask what a 300 C is worth, I tell them who knows, who 
cares as not for sale, but that because it is perceived (by many?) as a 
'Chrysler', that likely effects the value.
