Hey Group,
I typed the following attachment about a week ago and then "chickened out"
on sending it, but after much thought have decided it is time, so here
goes.

All old car enthusiasts have heard stories about someone who found a
desireable car in a barn and rescued it. Have you ever wished you could
realize this dream for yourself?
Here's your chance. I have decided the time has come to offer my 300L
2-door hardtop for sale. Advancing age and declining health tell me I will
never carry out all my plans for restoring it so someone else can buy it
and be able to video-tape it in the barn all covered with over 25 years of
dust; as it is being pulled out into the yard , and see the dust rinse off
as it receives it's first bath in all that time.
Then we can either get it running and ready to drive home, load it on your
trailer, or I can deliver it to you. This car was ordered with every
option available plus one. The leather seat option was not available with
front seat headrests and the owner insisted on them so it was specially
fitted with headrests. I'm not sure whether the dealer installed them or
the factory, but the customer was happy.
This car was mechanically rebuilt and mothballed in good running shape
about 30 years ago and was de-mothballed and used one time about 25 years
ago to tow a 1969 300 2-DHT back to Enid Ok. from the other side of a
steep mountain pass west of Golden, Colorado. It performed flawlessly and
was put in the barn only needing rear brake leak fixed. I also have a 300L
parts car available to whoever buys the complete car, or if the person who
buys the good one feels he or she doesn't need a parts car, it will be
open to any member who will use it or make it available to other club
members. If no one wants the complete car but enough members need enough
parts to use it up, I'll consider parting it out myself. I will NOT sell
individual parts unless most is sold.
Both cars are shown as they were shortly before being put in storage in
the most recent issue of the club magazine, which featured 300Ls.

Subject: 300C engine smoothness
Hello folks!
I just got my 300C back after 5and 1/2 months of restoration. I
need some help if possible. It sounds rather ridiculous but I'm not sure
how smooth this vehicle should run?! I drove it for 20 miles prior to
purchasing it in California in January. It arrived to my home in
Oklahoma on February 9th, and then I drove it for one afternoon on
February 11th and then it went in for the restoration work on February
12th. Besides replacing a few belts and changing the engine oil and the
differential and power steering fluids, the only engine work was
installing the Pertronics Ignitor electronic ignition system. The rest
of the work was involving body, interior, chroming, suspension, brakes
and front end work. I've driven it about 175 miles in the past 3 days.
The transmission shifts well and there is no slippage. However the
engine seems to shudder and throb under acceleration and is smooth as can
be when backing off the accelerator once desired speed is reached. It
idles smooth and starts immediately. The spark plugs are all clean and
all the distributor wires are intact. There is a distinct gasoline smell
when idling when stopped at a traffic light. I understand that the 392
hemi has a racing camshaft and won't sound like a New Yorker and that's
cool.....however I can't imagine anyone shelling out over 5K in 1957 for
a real rough running engine. My thoughts (what I'm going to suggest to
my mechanic) when he gets the car tomorrow:
- ceramic fuel filters need cleaning?
- intense carburetor adjustment needed? (I'm including the 1957
Chrysler/Imperial service manual and the 300C service supplement in the
car for his reference)
- distributor cap wobbling? (my Dad's 383 2 bbl Fury III 1967 developed
a similar behavior pattern on acceleration and had a loose distributor
base that caused stumbling and was corrected by replacing the
distributor)
-something with the transmission that requires adjusting?
HELP!! Thanks! ROB KERN

If the car had sat for some time, it's possible the carbs are gummed up
with
deteriorated fuel residue. I'd have them cleaned or rebuilt. Another
possibility is spark plug wires. If they weren't replaced along with the
Pertronics changeover, I'd put new ones on unless I knew the the present
ones are recent.
