Re: [Chrysler300] Donor Car

["G & E Riehl" <longrams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don,
Do you have the serial number handy of that G coupe you want to sell?  If it
doesn't sell soon I can advertise it in the next NewsFlite.  Sounds like a
good deal for someone looking for parts for their G restoration.  Let me
know if you want it advertised in the newsletter.
