Subject: 300F Movie
Seasons Greetings
I recently bought a neat item on e-bay. It is a auto show brochure on the
300F from Feb 1960. It is a large glossy display with a picture of the
300F
convert on one side and several stories on the reverse. The stories
consist
of an interview with Brewster Shaw and the history of the 300's assault on
the sand from 1955 to present.
One of the articles makes reference to an 18 minute film which debuet at
the
New York auto show on January 7 1960. The film include footage of a
Chrysler
engineer driving the 300F from Detroit to Daytona on a very scenic route.
At
Daytona the car was turned over to Shaw who made several runs on the
beach.
A commentary from Bob Roger concluded the film.The car was an Automatic
car
and not the 4 speed car Shaw who later drive in the trials. I was
fortunate
to copy a part of this film about 6 years ago from a TV program "World of
Collector Cars" that often featured Chrysler Historical Films. The running
time of what I have is less than 10 minutes so there is 8 minutes not
included.
Has anyone ever seen the entire 18 minute film? Does it include any
footage
of the 6 or 7 300F specials at the Speed week trials.
If I have pigued your interst in something you were not aware of I will
consider copying the tape I have for other Memorbilia enthusiests like
myself.

Subject: Actual Horsepower
Does anyone know the actual horsepower of a 62 413 H motor. I know they
say they are 380 hp but is that actual hp at the stock manifold on a dyno
or is it estimated hp due to configuration. I just had my motor all redone
to actual stock spec's including cam and with the stock manifold I get 360
HP, with headers 390 HP.
Has anyone that has rebuilt a H motor ever actual had there's tested on a
dyno.
Thanks just a quiz question

Subject: Re: 300C Authenticity
Ok Ray, yer half right!
I believe Mike's question referred to a 300C convertible. 3N57 means
1957 Chrysler 300C either hardtop OR convertible. Body type can be
determined by the small "numbers plate" attached to the upper lefthand
side of the radiator support. Reading left to right accross the first
row you'll see:
MDL
563 = 300C Convertible
163 = NewYorker Convertible
566 = 300 Sports Coupe 2dr. Hardtop
166 = New Yorker
156 = Saratoga
146 = Windsor
PNT
A = Jet Black
F = Parade Green
N = Copper Brown
P = Gauguin Red
X = Cloud White
Z = Special order paint (One color)
ZZ = Special order paing (Two-tone)
TRIM
60 = Beige Leather
00 = Special order interior
SCH
I belive this is the scheduled build date
The smaller row of vertical numbers represent different 3 digit option
codes that could be on the car.
BODY
The car's body number
So, in summary, if guy says "numbers match" on a '57 300C, he's either
a liar or he has the punch card to show that the three different
identifying numbers for a 300C (body, engine and serial numbers) match
the punch card. (These three numbers do NOT match each other).
Happy Hunting! I've got Wayne Graefen's 300C handbook here (Wayne gets
the credit for the above info not me!) and a 57 service manual. Call me
if you need help figuring this car out. I'll be home this weekend.
Also, If you find an extra 300C convertible, please do call me!
Best Regards to all (and a Merry Christmas too!)

Subject: Shocks for '64 300
Does anybody on the list have recommendations for shocks to put on my '64
Chrysler 300? I seem to remember hearing that KYB worked pretty well and
had
a size that fit. Does anybody know the KYB part # for my application?
Thanks,
