  While all you over there were possibly watching the end of the G convertible 
  auction, I was helping a friend unload a 40 foot container from US - no 
  300s, but a supercharged injected 1500hp Keith Black motor and 34 
  cartons/boxes of new and s/h alloy 474 hemi parts - like forged pistons, 
  alloy rods, 3 blowers etc - sort of mouth watering to think what this motor 
  would be like in unblown form in a 300 !?  He is putting it in a trick 
  steeel bodied 40 Willys Coupe that has a blown Clevland in it - only 750hp. 
  So many parts/boxes, we filled a 57 Chev, 67 Firebird, a Ute, and a 71 
  Challenger.

  Anyhow, get back home tonight, in front of Airconditioner, and turn on PC, 
  and nobody has said much since the end - so here's my two bobs worth from 
  downunder - personally it is perhaps good that the price was no higher - 
  good old ebay, sometimes the guy who stakes out his price, or territory, 
  wins the day, everyone else says 'let them have it' ?!  But that still 
  leaves the question - what is a good unmolested 300 C-G convertible worth.  
  Deduct say $5-10K for premium color, another say 10-20K for being seemingly 
  unmolested low miles. Then add maybe 5K if car had air? Am I in the ball 
  park, and so what does all this mean if someone trips over an unrestored 
  57-61 300 convertible - $25 - $55K according to options and 
  history/condition??   Or doesn't it matter - no one is going to find another 
  one, or who bloody cares!!?

  Final thought - shudder that it happens - will 300G one day stand for what a 
  300G is worth?!

  Think I'd rather think about supercharging a C - I have two early 60s SN 
  McCulloch blowers in a container now sitting on the dock (bought them mainly 
  for original carb enclosure box for my original superchrged 300C) - all 
  brackets and pulleys for Chev - but how about now I've got them, I fit them 
  on my first 300C (not maybe permanently, just to see what happens)  - like 
  Granetelli (aplols for spelling - too hot a day outside) did with an F - how 
  fast did he go??

  Forget what they (our 300s) are worth, or what happens at BJackson - let's 
  just have some fun with them. Plenty of bad news out there like that poor 
  girl the sharks took, and more sad deaths in Iraq - enjoy our cars. Enough 
  said for now by the aussie, I leave the site up to you guys for a while
