Re: [Chrysler300] American Hot Rod

I suspect the car that you are seeing belongs to the fellow who runs the 
Goodguys Auto Shows.  Gary Metters(SP).  He had seen my car 2 or 3 years ago 
at his Pleasanton, Ca show(This is his headquarters and there are 4 shows a 
year.  Each show will have a couple thousand cars--many of very high 
quality, lots of street rods--  with major vendors in appearance, large car 
for sale corral and very large swap meets, worth a visit for those who have 
never been to one, they are held all over the country.  I am usually the 
only 300 that shows up in Pleasanton--alternate with my Corvette-- and the 
car generates many questions and comments, and much curiosity, many of these 
guys have never seen one but when I mention that this is where the double A 
fuel dragsters got their engines back in the 50's. 60's and 70's they 
understand.  It was on indoor display and he had asked me a lot of questions 
about the B's.  Next thing I know he called me to tell me that he had 
purchased one and was going to restore it.  Last time I saw him he said he 
was going to street rod it.  I too have seen what I think is his car at Boyd 
Coddington's shop.  I have Tivo'd a couple of street rod building programs 
and have gotten momentary flashes of the car.
