RE: [Chrysler300] Old Cars Inaccuracy

[<Jlyons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John and club.
 
I had the privilege of seeing Don's White F Special three years ago and the
car is complete and running and driving.  His tribute car was complete as
well.

I have pictures of myself sitting in Don's white 300F Special hardtop from a
visit to Phoenix I made some 5 years ago or so. I hope he didn't take the
drive train from that real car to make this 'tribute' car.

I do remember seeing an ad in Hemmings a few years back for the 4 speed
transmission from a Facel Vega and thinking how much fun that would be to
put in my G, but the transmission alone was around $4K if I remember
correctly.

wayne: you are behind the times. he he clones are passe - now the new
terminology is "rebodied". doesn't rebodied sound so much nicer than clone?
let's see, we have gone from fake to clone to recreation to rebodied. and we
have gone to fake vin, fake data plates, fake build sheets, restamped
blocks, etc. same old adage - buyer beware!!!

Any of you who take Old Cars, please note that the reference and photos to
Don Petty's 300F black convertible should state that this car is a totally
BOGUS clone of the one and only real 300F Special Gran Turismo convertible
which was built with a 400HP short ram engine and Pont-a-Mousson 4speed
transmission which was a white car in color. If anyone wants to know on
who's authority that car is being called BOGUS, tell them Wayne Graefen said
so.
