Re: [Chrysler300] 300 L's

Anyone know anything about the red one currently on eBay? Supposedly 
redone by George Reil?

I was at Birmingham yesterday and the silver one sold for $17k which was 
considered by the pros to be a bit over the top - it was a nice car - 
good exterior appearance if you did not look too close. Lots of luster 
on paint but it was an respray and in some areas around edges of trunk 
and hood you could see it was painted over original paint with less than 
desirable prep as you could see edge of layer of paint underneath. Seats 
were nice and new carpet, but lots of mismatched areas if you looked 
closely - console had 2 toggle switches inside and did not line up 
right, glove box did not fit, trim above rear seats damaged. Windows 
showed significant misalignment and not all worked. Supposedly under 20k 
miles - but no authentication. It had repro Coker Goodrich 8.55-14 
narrow whites and looked like it could be made nice with a bit of 
effort. Lots of bidding from $5k to $12k - probably 5 different bidders 
including me, but Pro's mostly lost interest when it topped $10k and 
consensus of resellers next to me was it would retail between $12k and 
$15k. Apparently a nice black 4 speed sold at auction last month up 
north for $15k - wish I had been there.

As to one in Ca that was on eBay - it has been for sale for at least a 
year. I think at one time it was offered at $30k. Nice car, but as I 
recall it started life as a white car and was repainted silver - also 
had wrong tires and someone had added side marker lights off a 68 - 
looks very nice - but it would not fare well in a judged show and 
$30-35k is too much for a driver in my view.

There was also a pretty red 300L convertible on eBay in last 2 weeks - I 
think it went between $8k and 9K - anyone know why that went so low?
