Re: [Chrysler300] Re: That Coral 300D Coupe

[moparpjf@xxxxxxx]

If this is the car noted by Gil, it was sold at the Atlantic City  Classic 
car auction in February of 2004 by the same fellow who had it at the  
Newport meet.  His name was Butch something, and we saw him at the  sale.  I did 
speak with the person who bought it, and advised him of  the club, but he 
didn't seem particularly interested.  That was the last  time I saw the car.

All:
The VIN does appear in the video at the end of the pictures  and sure looks 
 
like LC4 1630.  If so, it indeed has been around  the "for sale" circuit 
for 
a long time.  LC4 1630 attended the 2002  Spring Meet in Newport,  Rhode 
Island.   At that time it  had an engine from a 1957  Imperial.  (All 
right--so 
does my  300C!)  It sure is a pretty car in  the photos, although one  
wonders why one would put all that money in a resto and  be satisfied  with 
that 
ugly battery and improper hold down.   Also causing  doubt as to quality of 
detail were the bumper  bracket and attachment  bolts which appeared to all 
be 
painted black right along  with the  frame.
For general info, a 300D this late in the model year should have  the  
mylar 
rectangles on the door trim panel carpet.

etc., accompanied by a group of photos of any car  fitting the general  
desription could be enough to entice some strong  winning bids. Having a 
valid  
tag with a nice history attached,  thanks to a good legitimate write-up on 
ebay  or the like and an  ususpecting buyer could end up a victim. Deposits 
and 
full  payments  are often paid well in advance of pick-up.
