Cuzzin Rich and All: The original engine for 3N55 1484 is indeed 3NE55 1473. Of some interest also may be the fact this is one of few C300s having wire wheels from the factory. Looks like quite a nice car to restore. 300ly, Cuz Gil In a message dated 4/9/2006 4:28:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, c300@xxxxxxx writes: The seller responded with the following information on the 1955 C-300 on ebay. Bidding is stuck at $8,455. Perhaps cousin Gil could verify that this is the original engine? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1955-CHRYSLER-C-300_W0QQitemZ4629177238QQcate goryZ6175QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Yes thank you for the information. The serial number is 3NE551473 for the engine, and the VIN number for the car is 3NE551484. Thanks again!
