Re: [Chrysler300] Alternators

["obiwan10" <obiwan10@xxxx>]

I would not know how many were built with manual steering, but I do know
that if mine had it, I could drop my membership at the gym for maintaining
my upper arms and chest.

John Madden who lives in Southern Calif has a red C-300 that he is close to
finishing a beautiful frame up restoration on which has absolutely no
options(which also means no radio or heater).

Would be interesting to know how many with no options or now PS or PB. Gil
Cunningham and his records may know. I assume that the old race cars did
not have power steering but I do not know.

Anyone out there have any ideas? Any records out there on 55's and 56's
with AC, manual trans(in 56 as well as torqueflights), record players, gas
heaters, colors, etc. etc. I do know in the Corvette world you can get
records that show how many of all combinations of options were built.

How about estimates on how many 55's and 56's are left out there? These
numbers could be roughly calculated by counting those registered in the
membership roles of both clubs.
