Timo Tanskanen would be as good as you will ever find in Calyfornua.  However you certainly will be looking at a 100k plus and that would be a bargain to have one of the best.  I followed very closely the restoration of a red 55 that he did for a close friend(Bill Madden) of mine.  The car is superb.  It is a zero option car, no radio, no heater, no pw, ps, pb, nada nada.

Timo is now just finishing up for Bill, a 59 black Crown Imperial convertible that will have its first showing at Carmel(invitation only) next month during the 2 weeks of annual Monterey festivities.  I believe that this car will be the finest Imperial to be found anywhere.

You are usually far better off to find a finished car unless you enjoy the often frustrating birthing process and can willingly endure the death of a thousand knives as you write the checks and tell the white lies to your spouse about how much this is really going to cost.

  Subject: [Chrysler300] C-300 value??


  Any theories on value of a bona fide 1955 Chrysler C-300, rusty, no engine,
  most glass good, interior "there"-but ratty, has title? A club member has
  it and is sorta thinking $5K-I'm south of that.

  And, if I get it, where/who might do a complete body-off-frame resto. On the
  left coast. And, of course, I'd need an engine, '55NY block OK for starter,
  but would eventually want the 3NEblock, carbs, manifold & batwing.

  C-300'ly,
