Hi 300 Fans,    I have a daily driver '69 300 clone that I refer to as my 
"kit car" since the cloning process took 7 cars. ( I drove it to a meet some 
years ago.)  It began as a Newport but has complete 300 front and rear trim, 
white leather bucket seat interior out of an Imperial and a 3/4 race 440 TNT 
engine so the weight should be about that of a real 300.  I've had radials 
on it for over 110,000 miles with no problems.  About half are expressway 
with the remainder southern, back country roads (rough !)   I've had no 
problems whatever - perhaps it is the Luck O' the Irish, but I suspect the 
problem is overstated.                                    Have a safe 
winter - see you'all at the Spring Meet. 
All the Best 300ing ! 
Phil Irish
