[Chrysler300] The AKorn has landed

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

The 1964 Chrysler 300K convertible I bought in mid-June made it from North
Carolina to California today.  Fortunately, it came in an enclosed trailer
as the driver went through al lot of rain over the last week getting here.
All bodywork has been done and the car was given a fresh coat of its
original Roman Red Poly maybe 30 years ago.  Since then it sat in a garage
waiting assembly.  Gil C. has provided the build data and confirms it was
born a ram car, although it does have a 383 2-barrel in it now.  I call it
AKorn as in "even a blind shoat finds an acorn once in a while" and I did
get it at a good price(I think) on e-bay and it is definitely a 300K.
Interestingly enough, it has 86,413 miles on it.  Some assembly
required-mostly interior trim.  Seems like somewhere I saw a radiator list
for 300's but could not find it.  The radiator in the car is full of nice
green antifreeze and has a 2898070 part number as well as 18396 in raised
letters.  Correct for an  a/c ram-engined car?  I'll use local contacts for
as many parts as I can find there and will be back looking for the rest.
Every piece of plated pot metal is pitted-inside and out.  First tasks will
be to drop the gas tank and clean and flush it.  Then inspect the brakes and
replace hoses and maybe lines.

 

C300-K'ly,
