Kevin/Group; I also was there (my first at the Mopars At The Strip) and enjoyed the car show (worked all day Wed laying out the show lot -helping Steve Hinkley the car show chairman) and the 4 days of drags (my first time viewing drags). Should point out there were some original restored cars. There was one 300- a black 1962 300 sport hdt., in the Modified Class, sporting cross rams, H hubcaps, disc brakes, and maybe a few hidden mods, but otherwise a very nice original looking 300. The owner regularly drives the car. Ken Wilson 300H Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ray Jones wrote: >Kevin; >It all depends on point of view.
