Re: [Chrysler300] 300G currently on Ebay

["Johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

As usual I'm getting in on this late.  First if I sound strange it is because I've been on DRUGS for the past 48 hours and at 11 am today I go in for a ROOT CANAL.

I remember speaking to the fellow who did the restoration for Mr. Levy some years ago.  After seeing some photos the restorer sent me I was not impressed.

A couple of other things that are incorrect is the outside mirror and the radio antenna is on the wrong side.  I remember the antenna from way back.

Awaiting the drill,
