[Chrysler300] G Stick shift

[cotejohnr@xxxxxxx]

Hi All,
  Manual Transmissions in a G are becoming as commonplace as the color 
Cinnamon (isn't that right Pete Fitch!.) Old Cars Weekly (4/20/06 Pg28) 
reports a 300 G Coupe in California owner by David Bowman has surfaced. 
It has the floorboard modification for the stick and two manual 
transmissions sitting in the TRUNK.

  The article goes on to say , quote.... A Chrysler 300 owner who aided 
researching Bowman's 300-G explained that, in the 1960s, sometimes 
crazy things happened, and for very good reasons. It has been reported 
that a few Chryslers 300-Gs were converted for fuel economy reasons in 
the early 1970s, and still others might have been converted by younger 
drivers in the late 1960s with the idea that it could improve 
performance...... (end quote.)

  The caveat, the VIN tag and Data Plate are missing posing a challenge 
to authenticate the car. ( Question for Gil C.---- Could the car be 
authenticated as a stick car with the VIN/data plate? )

  There is a small fuzzy picture of the unique stick shift floorboard 
that could help authenticate the car if closely inspected by a '61 
stick shift aficionado.

  Isn't it funny how when there is rarity in something, there seems to 
be more than previously thought to exist. Kind of like the White
  '60 F 4-speed Stick Convertible. Could there be more than one? 
..................Naaahh.

 G-Whizz.....
