Dear fellow members, I agree with John Hertog and John Nowosaki. I believe that the car was either born a 300 or not. Now, where do we draw the line? This is the grey area, and since the 300's are worth more than the NYer's and etc., full disclosure may not be offered. This is not an easy task to determine for anyone; including the AG of Michigan. We don't need that input. Let OUR professional members who have the most expertise about them make that call. It's our club not the great State of Michigan's. Thank You all.
