RE: [Chrysler300] Old Cars Inaccuracy

[<john_nowosacki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have pictures of myself sitting in Don's white 300F Special hardtop from a visit to Phoenix I made some 5 years ago or so.  I hope he didn't take the drive train from that real car to make this 'tribute' car.

 

I do remember seeing an ad in Hemmings a few years back for the 4 speed transmission from a Facel Vega and thinking how much fun that would be to put in my G, but the transmission alone was around $4K if I remember correctly.

wayne: you are behind the times. he he  clones are passe - now the new terminology is "rebodied". doesn't rebodied sound so much nicer than clone? let's see, we have gone from fake to clone to recreation to rebodied. and we have gone to fake vin, fake data plates, fake build sheets, restamped blocks, etc. same old adage - buyer beware!!!

Any of you who take Old Cars, please note that the reference and photos to Don Petty's 300F black convertible should state that this car is a totally BOGUS clone of the one and only real 300F Special Gran Turismo convertible which was built with a 400HP short ram engine and Pont-a-Mousson 4speed transmission which was a white car in color. If anyone wants to know on who's authority that car is being called BOGUS, tell them Wayne Graefen said so.
