Re: {Chrysler 300} John Holst 300K

Here is some additional information on John's 300K: jholst.net Chrysler 300K Home Page

As you will see in the above referenced page, this is a low mileage original K coupe (non-ram) and is possibly one of the most factory original K's in existence.

It was bought by John's father brand new and was never driven on salty Midwest roads in the winter.

While I have never seen the car in person, it is likely to be rust free and in very good condition.

John mechanically maintained the car and occasionally drove it, less so in recent years.

The car is located near Duncombe, IA near Fort Dodge, which is in north central Iowa, about 3 hrs. to the northeast from the fall meet in Omaha.

It's about 2 hrs away from where I live.

If someone is seriously interested in the car, I am willing to help go look at it and take photos and check it out. At this time, we don't know the asking price.

Subject {Chrysler 300} John Holst 300K

Hello,
Unfortunately I missed the Club List Server message that John Holst had passed away in Oct 23 as a result of a car accident. As part of Club Meet support work I call members in the region of the meet to invite them to attend and that is when I learned about John’s passing from his wife Marilyn.
John was a very helpful connection to the Chrysler 300 Inc Club to post our International Club meet announcements on their website, but I only knew John through our email exchanges and of course from all his helpful work with service and parts manuals.
Marilyn did say she would like to sell John’s 300 K (just owned by John and his Dad) but she would appreciate some help in doing that. Marilyn had been trying but had no luck in connecting with Rich Barber. I called Carl Bilter and Carl’s suggestion to post this information to our List Server seemed like the best approach.
If there would be a way for someone to visit with Marilyn and get full information on the 300K it might work that attendees to the September Omaha Meet could see the car and of course I mentioned to Marilyn we would find a way to advertise the car on our Club website.
Marilyn’s cell phone is 515-570-3390 and her email is holstm@xxxxxxx
Carl had some additional helpful thoughts he may want to share but we both felt our Club should do all we can to help Marilyn.
Best,
Carlton Schroeder
