RE: {Chrysler 300} E parts for sale -

I have been following this thread with some amusement.

It reminds me of a phenomenon here in San Francisco. In this case it is with commercial real estate. People who own say three or four buildings with ground floor retail space or those with apartments.

Even though some blocks have a 30% ground floor retail vacancy rate, they never drop their price. Same thing for some apartment buildings empty units.

In many cases these folks do not need the money. But they will not lower the price to the market. Why? I have observed that it is often about bragging rights. They have other friends with property, and they want to brag about how much they are getting for it. They would rather have it sit empty, sometimes for several years, rather than rent it out at what the current market will bear.

I think sometime in classic car circles the same phenomenon happens. With cars and parts.

Sad that this person made himself a very nice and interesting Hot Rod, yet instead of passing on the parts to the “other end” of the Hobby to facilitate the restoration and maintenance of 300 G’s he sits on the parts like some kind of Holy Cash Grail.

The stuff will never sell, and his estate will either junk them or sell them cheap at some point.

He told me people were offering him $2000. Just for the side emblems. I stopped reading his text after that. I am restoring a E right now that is complete and can have my own parts restored for cheaper than what he's asking for in used parts

It is because nobody will buy it. There aren’t exactly a lot of 59s being restored right now in need of these parts. He would happily sell them if there were legitimate buyers around.

He only sold the wheels and hub caps it seems. Maybe people were hoping it would go back together. He said he still has the chassis available.

Saw this Facebook post by the fellow who built the restomod 1000X that was recently shown - Tony Arme in Phoenix.

I have no connection with this - and am a bit surprised that he didn’t sell/dispose of these 5 years ago, when he dismantled the E and advertised these for sale back then.
