[Chrysler300] BJ and 300C rear spring id?



1) From distant Australia there is an irony there isn't there, re the 'non 
coverage' of 300 sales at BJ.

Recent observation was just given re how BJ seemingly gave great coverage to 
later hemi powdered Mopars - the irony is weren't these the cars that the 
majority of collectors ignored so well and strongly, that today they are now 
so rare and collectable/valuable, newsworthy?!

Ireespective of this, it seems a likely truth that money rules, or potential 
money not wished to be lost ??! - ie us 50s Mopar/300 owners are (still?!) 
so a minority versus the rest of Ford and Chivvy lovers, that we can be 
ignored?  And so where is the irony that we are so rare, that we are, ever 
should be valuable/important?


2) Pulled a rear spring from 2 of my 300Cs. On the underside of the bottom 
plate on each are two numbers - 1737037, and 1731737 (if I copied them 
correctly) - one of which is crossed out with stamped xxxxs.  After this is 
DdCc stamp and numbers 60  7.
Anyone know why stamped like this, and what does the 60 7 stand for - 
obviously both seem original fitment, and the two cars were built only days 
apart. Both seem not to have been painted.
Also on the chassis beside the d/s front of spring, are two sets of white 
stenciled numbers - the lower one ends with a capital A - does this stand 
for anything - the rest of number is same as the car serial number? (A is 
for automatic perhaps?)
And final question, were the 390hp cars spring rates heavier/stronger, and 
if so by how much?
And as a compliment to how well made our cars were, all rubber bushes, pins, 
and main bolt still mint - after near 50 years, how much abuse/neglect?

thanks from Australia where a brief break from 110 degree heat and very bad 
bushfires,
Christopher
