Still
waiting for a Challenger!!! Current is 1000 lbs too much. See new Vette for
ideas on weight. John (Had
brand new copper color 440 RT convert in 70. I think 3800$; not a hemi , only because
no A/C with hemi ; ~ 8 mpg, 14 gallon tank. Did Ok except for stage II 455 Buicks,
that switch pitch GM Turbo 400 was one hell of a good idea, put one length on
Challenger off the line and you hang there) ----Don’t like Buick
taillights . From:

I could never understand why they didn't make a 2-door 300
(or a convertible for that matter) when they reintroduced the rear wheel drive
hemi 300 in mid 2000's. Still waiting for a Challenger convertible. On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 10:00 AM, Jim Maiani <jmaiani@xxxxxxxxxxx>

was a great car (I owned one for 3 years, a ‘99). But in my
opinion, it lacks 2 things that don’t make it a true letter car.
#1, it’s not rear wheel drive. #2 it does not have at least 300
hp. I always thought that the true letter cars HAD to have BOTH of those
features. My biggest
beef is when they released the 300 hemi C (was that 2004 or 2005?) Why
didn’t they name that the 300 N? That car does has the 2 above
features. Was it the Germans at the time that were trying to destroy
Chrysler’s history? just my .02
worth. Jim Maiani Houghton

R7 Diamond Jubilee 300 Circus I've got to chime in here on Carl's statement: 6)
In the ninth generation section (‘99-‘04) there is no mention of
the 300M Special (which actually was special in features and equipment).
Ninth and tenth generation sections seem incomplete. As our club does not
include these cars, should they be covered at all? How can we NOT include mention of these cars in the write
up? I accept and recognize the fact that the Chrysler 300 Club
International only recognizes letter cars built between 1955 and 1965, plus the
1970 300 Hurst for judging and support purposes, but to pretend the later 300s
don't exist, does them, and our proud 300 heritage, a disservice in my view.
The 300 Sport models are mentioned, why not the cars with a letter built after
1965? Go ahead, bring on the flames, I'm wearing protective gear. Bob J with a 300G (no hyphen thank you) and a 2006 300C

Observations
on content: 1)
The last sentence for the first generation introduction section
(‘55-‘56) is a fragment, like a final thought may have been
missing. 2)
In the “300-H” section it is mentioned that the H had the
“best power to weight ratio of any of the letter cars.” While
that was true up until 1962, the Ram K was probably the actual best, followed
closely and/or tied by the J, based on advertised dry weights and the
advertised horsepower. In that same section it says that “1962 was
the worst selling year for the letter car.” Maybe on a calendar
year basis (I don’t know), but on a production basis it was actually it
was the J in 1963. 3)
In the fourth generation (‘63-‘64) introduction it states that the
“the convertible returned to the Letter Series for 1964 , but the 300-K
was otherwise identical to the 300-J.” That is most certainly not
true. We 300 nuts are picky about details like that. 4)
The features listed for 1967 were optional at extra cost and not standard. 5)
The 1970 section lists Hurst production at both 501 and 485. There seems
to be some leftover verbiage from an earlier rendition that need editing. 6)
In the ninth generation section (‘99-‘04) there is no mention of
the 300M Special (which actually was special in features and equipment).
Ninth and tenth generation sections seem incomplete. As our club does not
include these cars, should they be covered at all? Some
minor grammatical corrections and overall editing are still required. Carl
