[Chrysler300] Setting the pace

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I noticed that car, description and price.  The Pacesetters regularly sell
so there is an established market--in the 20's typically.  I did note with
interest that it was one of several equipped to be a pace car and thought
"maybe a 413/ram engine?"  I recall one being advertised recently with a
413, so apparently the bigger engines were available.  Makes sense and would
have made a nice package.  Then I spotted the 383 note on the appraisal.
Let's watch this one.

I always wondered why they didn't make the Pacesetters full-blown letter
cars.  And, although they call the color Pacesetter Blue, it sure looks kind
of green to me and I thought racers were pretty superstitious about green
cars.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber

Subject: [Chrysler300] Classic Car Appraisals

I wanted to get other Club members' opinions about appraisals of classic
vehicles, including our 300 Letter Cars.

For example, there is a shiny but very ordinary and somewhat modified 1963
Chrysler 300 Pace Car convertible on eBay at the moment. Ordinary in that it
has a 383, and no A/C.  I say lightly modified, as it has dual-circuit
brakes and a front disc brake conversion.  Here's a link to the auction:

The appraisal value for this car is listed at $352,000. I'm no professional
appraiser, but that most certainly exceeds the value of that car by at least
ten times over its actual value.

Your thoughts/opinions?

300ly,
John Spiers
