Re: [Chrysler300] sort of 'oh my' (ebay)

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

All:
I would be a little careful on that 1958 engine.  300D engines started  
with #58N3 1001, according to the Service Manual.  The engine on ebay is  58N 
3034.  It looks to me like it was actually a 1958 NewYorker engine,  #2034.  
If the "3" after the "N" stood for 300D, then there are not enough  numbers. 
 All the engines started with the four digit 1001.    Just a word of 
caution.
300ly, Gil C.

still needed I had not canceled the auto search bot in E-bay.
So today  when the auto searches were reported to me Lo and Behold there 
are 2  
different 300 hemi's on ebay, a 55 and a 58 motor, mostly complete  too.

the  55

the  58

Both  seem to have no reserve (at least from what I saw)

The pics also show  the serial numbers

On a side topic, a little while ago I was at a swap  meet and one of the 
vendors 
had a small pile of 'dimpled' valve  covers.  A good close look showed that 
he 
had them almost  'correct'  the dimpling process he used was pretty close 
to the 
real  deal, But having seen several sets of the real thing, and having 
spent some  
time seeking a set to chrome I felt confident enough to ask him about the  
covers 
he had, AND he admitted that he was happy with how close he came to  
replicating 
the originals and still not pass serious critical  inspection.
His asking $$ wasn't too much more then the un-dimpled covers  he had as 
well.
