The problem with buying the restored car is that you don’t know the quality of the build. Just skimming through the photos, I see issues, such as missing dash pad, non-painted hubcaps, aftermarket generator. And then there’s the pop-riveted VIN tag and data plate. How is the car mechanically ? If the car needed floors, trunk, or quarters, what was the quality of the welding ? Finally, the asking price is outrageous. Probably 2X what a car like this should be priced at, especially in a sagging market. I would go for the car that needs work because then I would know the level of restoration, since I would be doing it. Although IMHO, the asking price is high considering what it would take to bring it up to a 2/3 condition. Just my 2¢. Ron From: 'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International So, the question is… If you paid $35K for the 330C here, could you rebuild the body which no doubt has issues, then paint it, do the interior and chrome and everything else for $100K? If not, then the one for sale at Atomic Motors is a better deal in that you save all your labor hours. Great that both came up now so folks can think about such things… James From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Nick Taylor -- -- For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chrysler 300 Club International" group.
