[Chrysler300] the difficulty of finding early 300 parts

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From most recent postings, sounds like it is pretty hard to find either 
original good parts/diecast for early year 300s, plus not too common to find 
rebuild/replacement parts also? And from our aussie 300D rebuilder came a 
cry for help re where do you find that too often pitted 300C/D/E stuff?!

And as more and more rough, basket case, cars are tried to be bought back to 
'near, or better than new', finding good original stuff likely will get 
harder, however if demand high enough, maybe some common 'wearing out with 
use' mechanical parts may become 're-available'?!

Maybe the answer is, the harder you try/look, maybe the luckier you get?  
And re looking in Australia, don't think too many good prospects here - only 
early 300s are ones needing parts, not providing parts - and newswise, 
another 300D headed our way soon I believe - good resto car, nice body, was 
on ebay back a while ago. Ds will soon outnumber Fs as most common 300 here.

Christopher in Australia where suddenly our winter crops may fail if spring 
rain does not happen, it suddenly turned like late spring, with many of 
nation's City water supply dams still near empty, lowest ever in history.
