Re: [Chrysler300] Observation and rebuttal

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary Meador had seen my 300 B at a Goodguys Meet that he had held in Pleasanton some years back.  He subsequently called me at my home and we chatted for some time regarding his desire to obtain one for himself..  I remember him telling me that this was one of the coolest cars that he had ever seen at one of his events.  He had not suggested that he was going to street rod it.  I first knew that he was doing so when I saw it parked in the shop of Coddington's during the filming of one of his episodes of American Hot Rod.  Here is a link to some pics of the car(and also another 300 B that has found a savior with wings--and probably a full pocketbook).  For those old enough to remember  Randy Hasties', "Emmet" and the pics of it stuffed full of hay bales, this B instantly reminded me of the condition of it before its restoration.

Planning on attending Goodguys show in Pleasanton next weekend.  Wonder if Gary will have the car there?  Would love to see it up close and personal.

  Bob Jasinski's 300G is the best starting, fast idle kickdown, and driveaway 
  smartly from cold that I have seen in 43 years of owning and driving other F's 
  and G's. I know because I had it in my garage for 6 weeks. What ever he 
  says, goes. That was the rebuttal.
  Observation: The 300B of Gary Meador was profiled in the recent Street Rod 
  magazine. I was prepared to hate the concept but the execution, concept, and 
  final finish are all breathtaking. A Viper chassis, pumped 392 and mostly 
  stock interior really show the very best attributes of the stock car only 
  perfected. Know this: Should Gary want to swap for anything I own, maybe two 
  or three of these, I would be the next owner. Moving the bumpers inward a few 
  inches is an idea that the factory could have done, plus the yellow lenses 
  inserted into the tail lights are nothing short of beautiful. CU all in Ohio!
