email addresses deleted to satisfy server.  I see now that this message 
pretty much duplicates a previous one from Bob Jasinski of nearby 
Danville.  If I find the car, will invite him to inspect, also.

300 fans:

Hello again.  I called Chris Torres and he said he was trying to buy the 
car from a neighbor in Oakland.  He wants to buy it and resell it and 
does not want to show it or tell where it is until he gets it bought.  
He is aware that some 300's have gone for outrageous prices and it 
sounds like he'd like to cash in on that.  He says the car is a 1957 
green 300 convertible with a perfectly straight body, good chrome & SS 
with shot interior and top--has original black CA license tags.

I gave him my name and number and told him I'd like to see it so as to 
pass info on to Club members.  If he ever calls, I'll call Henry and try 
to arrange a joint visit with digital camera.  Car is one owner and she 
already has an offer that he is trying to beat.

Someone with access to DMV files could probably find the car and it 
sounds close to that fabled barn car we always hear about.   Oakland is 
a very diverse town with former governor Jerry Brown as mayor.  There 
are many beautiful old neighborhoods that probably have neat old cars 
parked away in the old carriage houses--owned by people that don't need 
the money and don't want the aggravation of selling their old 
treasures.  Very frustrating as I was probably within 5-10 miles of the 
car tonight as a result of a church meeting in Berkeley.

Wish I had a witching rod to guide me to the car.  I will explore a 
couple of avenues and keep you posted.

The plot thickens and the game is afoot in sunny CA.

>>A few postings ago there was an item stating there was a C cvt for sale in the 510 phone area code.  We live in the 510 area code.  I deleted the msg. as we are not interested in the car, but it occurred to me that if anyone on the 300 mailing was  interested in a possible purchase, we could go and have a look at it for you.
