Subject: 300C Front Brakes (take five)

Greetings 300 Club Members:

It seems the biggest problem with my right front brake is the brake support plate. Master mechanic George Riehl says it is shot and must be replaced. One from a '57 New Yorker will work. Does anyone have one for sale or know where one is available or possibly available? I would deeply appreciate hearing from you. Please email me direct.

The car deserves to be kept original but looking for parts for a classic letter car is extremely frustrating and time consuming. A disk brake conversion kit is available for the car. I may end up having to go that route. Just think ... all new parts readily available. :-) 

Thanks for your help.

Mark Schueller

I have the left blank panel for 77-80 truck in redwood for $22.00 postage
paid.  no part # I think this came as part of a complte dash assembly.
I also have the right side with the clock/tach hole in silver argent for
37.00 postage paid.     part #3895 910

Both in very good condition.

I also have the complete dash trim panel in silver, with a larger tach hole
cut in the right side.  Make an offer.

Thanks Ray Jones in AR 479-394-5738 if you want to call.

Subject: Black F on e-Bay.

Two days ago,my buddy( who is very interested ), and I e-mailed the vendor of the very nice looking black 300F on e-Bay , asking for the VIN. Or add the VIN to the description.

He hasn't bothered to reply, or add the VIN. All his previous car sales have included VIN numbers.
Has anyone on the list done the same??   And got a VIN ??
It appears to be 'on sale' at $15,100.
Looks nice too. I blew the pix up, looks sweet, but I don't see the gold Chrysler script on the hood.

Here's how to describe a car on e-Bay, not like the current black 300F........the vendor of which can't be bothered replying to requests, as he says he will on his website....

If you love C-300's......mmmmm, and don't we all, check out this vendors absolutely top description, and the even better slide show. Very nice...!!!!!1

Folks,

Just an FYI - In the interest of trying to find the dealership that has this
car in Kingston, Mass (Kingston is about 60 miles from me), I attempted a
reverse  phone lookup on Verizon's homepage.

It came up empty, which leads me to believe the number on eBay is a cell
(not that there is anything wrong with that!).

Were it closer, I'd go take a look and get that elusive VIN!

Subject: Re: 300C Front Brakes (take 4)

re your brake problem - I think I  have said this before, but just in case
not noted.

most times when brakes grab after standing, this after they working
perfectly before standing, check the wheel/drum that is grabbing - you
will/should find fluid leak at that wheel - most likely only small enough to
cause initial grabbing until you/one wear off leaked fluid, this making it
hard to find - check your cylinder, especially the rim of the rubber brake
cup, as if is not the original narrow one, the fluid hole in cylinder tears
brand new cup lip when used, in the spot where it extends over hole under
pressure.

great idea - take up the offer, do it?!

It would be great if the Club, somebody, made up a salvage yard list - it
could also include, update, comments from satisfied club users re purchases
from any of these.  And any list could also detail if 50s,60s or 70s mopar
stuff, if mainly mechanical, or body stuff, etc ??!

Subject: Rebuilt generator for 300 C,D,E

I have a newly rebuilt Autolite generator that was on my C that I
replaced with another generator.  It cost me $85 for the rebuild job,
I'll make it available to the club membership for $75 plus shipping and
packaging costs. The reason I'm not using it is because the pulley that
was on it was damaged in return shipping resulting in it being chipped.
I located another pulley and 45 W Autolite generator that works for my PS
with A/C 300C. I don't need 2 rebuilt generators.  You can have the
damaged pulley for free...the chipped piece is included and can be
cast-iron welded I've been told. The interesting fact about this
generator is that it was on my C and has serial numbers matching that
found on a 1959 Chrysler.  Therefore it can be used on a C,D, or E.  ROB
