RE: [Chrysler300] Specs for a 300G

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich, 

You car, a "beater"?  We should all be so lucky as to have beaters like it.

Perhaps our chief judge, Mr. Cunningham, will weigh in on this issue.  It is
my understanding that all 300F and 300G's were manufactured in the same
plant. It would make sense to me that all were assembled / painted in the
same manner. 

It is possible that other Chrysler cars (Saratoga's, NewYorker's) made in
other plants may have unpainted or cad plated latches and/or strikers...
But, as far as 300F and 300G models, I think that all should have painted
latches and strikers. However I cannot prove this.  All I can say is that
Steve Albu's original 300F has painted latches and strikers; so does the 71
mile 300G.  So does my original 50K mile 300F convertible. 

See ya all soon in Ohio where we can discuss Matters of Importance such as
these in the parking lot over many beers.

 John,

Wow, you got me nervous so I went out to the garage to confirm my cars. I
found that the white coupe does have unpainted latches, but painted
strikers. I then confirmed with the pre-disassembly pictures that these were
unpainted. I don't remember there being paint work around the doors or
B-pillars, but who knows after almost 40 years (I bought the car in 2000). 

The G convertible (black) does have painted latches and strikers. 

So, it appears as though I may have done the white car wrong. Oh well, it's
a beater. Sorry for the misinformation.

Hi Art,

I appreciate your desire to improve your 300G  and to keep it "correct" at
the same time.  Art, are you aware that there is a model- year consultant
for
the '61? That is Don Verity  :  d.verity@xxxxxxx   .  You ought to e- mail
him with any specific restoration / correctness questions.  

Also, on our Club web site, under "tech department", you will find a link to
"reference" pictures taken of Steve Albu's ulta low mileage, unrestored
300F.  Here's a hyperlink:
http://www.chrysler300club.com/reference/300f/main.html   . Andy Mikonis
also took many rolls of film of an original , 71 original mile 300G hardtop
but these have not been uploaded to a web page. 

Both the "Steve Albu" 300F and the "71 mile" 300G are white hardtops.  Both
have strikers AND latches painted body color.

   Hello members, My name is Art Cragnotti and I live in Glendale Ca. I
recently purchased a beautiful black "G" and immediately joined the club.
There is a wealth of info that comes across the computer from the members
and it can be very helpful.  Along those lines I would like to know if there
is any kind of judge sheet or other form of information as the correct
details for the various components of my car. Case in point, this weekend I
had my car at the Mopar Spring Fling here in Van Nuys. There was another "G"
as well as a "F" at the show.  All three door latches were different. The
"F" had gold annodized, the other "G" had silver annodized and mine are
painted black. So which is correct? I have a beautiful car and would like to
bring it to the next level.  Can anyone help?


              Thanks Art
