Hi All,
This fellow has a 300C for sale that he has not been able to sell. He admits it's really rusty, but it may be good for parts though.
"1957 Chrysler 300C. Price reduced to $3000 or make offer. Car is complete with power seats, leather interior, power windows, power steering, and power brakes. The car is in total need of restoration. The car is stored in Michigan, originally purchased in ATlantic City, NJ. There are extra fenders to go with the car."
-Dave

Subject: 1000 miles trip in '57 Imperial
Hi,
This week end i've made a 1000 miles trip to go (and return) to
the "Chrysler Anciennes" meeting. It was the first time that the
Imperial had to drive a so long distance in 3 days. My trunk was
full of spare parts but as you know it's the part you haven't
which failed ..
The car drove beautifully all the 3 days. I was anxious but i
didn't have any problem except one: failure of the windshield
wiper motor. It's the automatic stop which failed: the wipers
didn't parked themselves and you heard "click .. click" every 5
s: it's the circuit breaker which closes and opens when the
switch is off. When the switch is on and the breaker is closed
the wipers run but they failed totally the last day. And it was
raining ... I put some "RainX" on the windshield and i could
drive back to home. Now i'll put my spare wiper motor ..
I've also measure the mpg on the 1000 miles (exactly 977 miles):
12.25 mpg with 3/4 highway and 1/4 roads. Average speed on
highway was around 60 mph with sometime a max speed of 80 mph.
Just some minuts because the convertible is noisy over 70 mph (no
engine noise but wind noises with top on. I don't want to test
the car at such speed with top off !..).
I'll made a report of the rallye (and not on my car) in some
days; i have more than 100 pics !
Two cars came from UK: Tony & jackie Vickers (i knew them since
last year) and Ian & Peter Rubrey in their '59 Plymouth Suburban.
I think they were very happy to be with us.. Only one thing was
bad: the weather..

Subject: Rust treatment
Hi all,
Quick question about dealing with rust. I'm about to
do some sanding etc. to tackle some rust spots, and I
was wondering if the club had any tips at all about
taking care of rust? I've learned always go to the
club first before doing anything. Chances are someone
has a tip to make the job a easier or better. So
that's what I'm doing?
The story is I'm hoping to sand down the rust spots I
have and prime them in preparation for painting, which
should take place sometime next year. Does anyone have
any advice on sanding techniques. rust blacking (the
stuff that turns rust to metal, or at least inhibits
the spread of further rust) or/and priming?
As always, thanks so much for the great advice...j

Hi; Whatever you do, PAINT the area. Use any color (try to get something
close) paint to cover the primer. Leaving it just in primer will promote
rust under the surface, I've found. Primer is porious

Has anyone contacted Gary by email lately? Just wondered if his email is

no response yet.(normally he does reply fairly quickly) I've marked them
"important, please reply" too! Maybe I'll have to try him by phone or fax
next.

Subject: Re: Rust treatment
Jonathan,
They make a cute little thing called a "spot blaster" that is about the
size of a paint gun. It works like a little sand blaster, has a rubber cup
on it that is placed against the rusty spot to keep the sand from blowing
around, the sand is captured in a little cloth bag after it hits the
rust.Great little tool for localised rusty spots. Most paint stores have
products you can use to pickle the rust to stop it and prep the spot for
paint. If you spray primer on a car you are driving be sure to top coat it
with some kind of paint to seal the surface, primer will absorb water if it
is left bare.

Subject: 300G BRAKES
Maybe the 1st post didn't show. So, I will try again. Are the front
dual-plane brake assemblies for the 300G the same as those on the 61 Newport
wagon? IOW, are they interchangeable?
A simple yes or no would be sufficient. Thanks.

I can't help but add to Jim's e-mail... the BEST result I have obtained as
far as "tight" box and good feel is by having my steering box ( 1961 300G )
rebuilt by Steer and Gear, to firm feel spec. Of course, when reinstalling,
a new bushing between the sahft and box... and new copper strip for horn
contact...

I contacted Gary 2 Saturday's ago about a hood pad for my H. He responded on
Sunday and the item was in my hands within 5 days. I'd say that's pretty
damned good service.

Karl,
The 61 Newport and Windsor use 11 inch brakes. They will not interchange
with the 12 inch brakes on your G. Only New Yorker brakes would be the same.
