Re: [Chrysler300] 300C and 300D 120 & 150mph speedo survey

[barjam300@xxxxxxx]

Here's an "odd ball" to add to the speedometer mix for who ever's counting. 
 I have owned 300C #2862 built to special order spec's on June 12, 1957 
with a  New Yorker 325 HP engine and suspension with the 150 MPH speedo since 
July  1969. It was driven to the first Club Meet in Holly, Mich. in 1970 & 
put  into storage shortly afterwards. I removed it from my barn in 2005 and 
have been  working on it to get it back on the road again.

Yes. I am sure my build card when decoded by Gil C. showed a 120 MPH  
speedo.
It is at my shop and not at hand.

Just a thought

Wouldn't that be noted on the build  card??
Like any deviation from standard equipment??
