[Chrysler300] 300J Race car

["Gary Barker" <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Did anybody else happen to watch the Speed Channel about 2 days ago.  They had a Chrysler 300J that had been built up for Drag Racing.  It had a big blower sticking through the hood. The car belonged to a pit crew member that had passed away. So the rest of the crew built it up and were racing it in there friends memory.   People would come up and asked what kind of car is this.  They couldn't believe they were racing it.  It really looked good.  When it got the signal to go it really Hauled Donkey.  There were no speeds given so we don't know how fast it was going.

I noticed that car, description and price. The Pacesetters regularly sell
so there is an established market--in the 20's typically. I did note with
interest that it was one of several equipped to be a pace car and thought
"maybe a 413/ram engine?" I recall one being advertised recently with a
413, so apparently the bigger engines were available. Makes sense and would
have made a nice package. Then I spotted the 383 note on the appraisal.
Let's watch this one.

I always wondered why they didn't make the Pacesetters full-blown letter
cars. And, although they call the color Pacesetter Blue, it sure looks kind
of green to me and I thought racers were pretty superstitious about green
cars.

C-300'ly,

I wanted to get other Club members' opinions about appraisals of classic
vehicles, including our 300 Letter Cars.

For example, there is a shiny but very ordinary and somewhat modified 1963
Chrysler 300 Pace Car convertible on eBay at the moment. Ordinary in that it
has a 383, and no A/C. I say lightly modified, as it has dual-circuit
brakes and a front disc brake conversion. Here's a link to the auction:

The appraisal value for this car is listed at $352,000. I'm no professional
appraiser, but that most certainly exceeds the value of that car by at least
ten times over its actual value.

Your thoughts/opinions?

300ly,
John Spiers
