RE: [Chrysler300] 1958 300-D???

["Owen Grigg" <ram300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't want to get into running this guy's auction down, but in my opinion
anyone looking to purchase this car should go take a thorough look at it, or
get someone with a good knowledge of 300Ds to do so. To me this car looks
"staged" or made up to look like a barn find, what's that straw in the
engine compartment hiding? Wouldn't your normal person remove it to
photograph, it looks like it may have been placed there. He has the original
air cleaner, shouldn't that be plural? Take note of his "no rust known to
speak of" and "all appears good original carpet 100% complete". Well take a
look at the front interior/floor shots, there isn't much carpet there, apart
from scaly rust. He appears to want to sell it sight unseen "buy it now" "no
refunds given". I'm sure he wants to sell it "out of country" so when the
new owner puts his foot through the floorboards he's not within arms length.
Anyone going to see it should get a pencil rubbing of the data plate...maybe
it's a special order green/yellow with a grey interior but I doubt it going
on the dash color :-)

Of course all of the above is just speculation and everything could be just
perfect, but this car just doesn't look right to me and I'd hate to see a
club member taken on it.

Happy Xmas to all.

This response from the seller does not exactly generate confidence.  Anyone
for a pig-in-a-poke?  Aussies and bloody Yanks, take care.

  Does this look to be a bona fide 300-D?  If so, I may go take a peek.  The
bench seat seems strange, but may be a replacement???  The VIN pix are
unclear, but appear to start with IC4, not the LC41 prefix I've copied from
some source.  What does an authentic 58-D VIN tag look like?  What is its
format?  

Love the daisies growing out of the carbs.
