Re: [Chrysler300] 300-G on ebay

Bob J. and All:
Before that car was owned by Mr. Hegeman, our old Club records show the  
owner was Mary Ann Elam, who, if memory serves, was an officer, or wife of one 
 in the Chrysler 300 Club, Inc.  That ownership may date into the late  
70's.  Before her, we show the car owned by a Hugh Raupe.  So there is  a 
little additional owner info, for what it is worth.
300ly, Gil C.

Regarding this G convert, the more I looked at the pictures, the  more 
familiar it began to look to me.  This 300G is a local San Francisco  Bay Area 
car that was owned by a local collector (Bob Hegeman) who passed away  about 
3 years ago.  I visited with him about 4 years ago and had a chance  to take 
some photo's of the car then, and talk with him a bit about the  
restoration. 

At that time he did not have the car quite finished, and  it looked pretty 
much the way it does now.  When I compared the pictures  I have to the car 
listed, they are literally the same.  As I recall, he  had a fabric top 
installed instead of the original pin point vinyl, as that  was his preference, 
and may have changed the top color to black, not sure on  that. I did take 
pictures of the Trim Code plate, but the plate is very hard  to read.  I know 
he put a lot of money into paint and chrome, and I  suspect the reason the 
details are lacking is due to his untimely  passing.  Bob was a great guy and 
really enjoyed MoPars and the hobby in  general.  I also recall the car was 
originally listed in Hemmings back in  2004 or so, and it had been stored 
for many years before he bought it, and it  needed everything but was a solid 
rust free California car to start  with.  I remember calling on the car 
from the Hemmings ad, but it was  already sold to Bob when I spoke to the 
seller.

If there is any  interest on the part of any persons on the server to see 
my pictures of the  car, just let me know and I will email them to you.

I agree that the car is overpriced. I hope it’s a rust  free CA body for 
that price!

It seems like it was a fully equipped car.  Has a vacuum door lock switch 
above the radio...but there’s no convert top  boot??

Hi All,
While this car may be exceptionally pretty, it has a  lot of incorrect 
items for a car they want all the money for. Wire wheels are  not and were never 
optional on a G. The engine compartment is a mess of things  wrong. Red 
heater hoses? That shows a complete lack of research on what is  correct. Hose 
clamps are all worm style, blue ignition wires, and what is the  green thing 
by the washer bag? Two of the dash gages are also 62 style. If I  had the 
money to buy something this expensive, I would at least want  everything to 
be correct. But maybe that’s just me, maybe pretty is all that  matters.
