Re: [Chrysler300] new member introduces

Hello Dieter, and welcome to both the 300 Club and to the forum. You have come to the right place for all the help you may need - both in the way of experienced advice and parts you may need.

A lot of us Letter Car fans are getting to the age now anyway where we are better at talking about something than we are about getting out and doing it. And it may even be time to let go of some of the extra parts we have stowed away over the years to help a fellow restorer out.

Do keep us abreast of you restoration progress, so we can vicariously go through this with you.

Thanks for letting us know you're here.

Hi all
My name's Dieter and I'm living in Switzerland.
Recently I bought a 1960 Chrysler 300F from a seller in the States (California, SF area).

It's my first Letter car and my second Forward Look car. The first car I bought 2010 from Milbank and has a 4bbl 354 Fire Power engine.

My Letter, the 1960 Chrysler 300F is a white coupe with an iron hog (A 488). It needs a full restoration because it suffers from a six year storage outside under a rotting blue cover with open hood and no air cleaners on the carburetor. So it's no wonder the engine is frozen and and the carburetors as well. I got the Letter from a very kind seller who stored it in a storage building for almost a year (it's the pre owner).

The VIN of my Letter is 8403126310 and I even do not know if it's a real Letter car. But I assume the threshold was too high to build a clone because there are so many parts unique at the Letter.
With the restoration I'll start in June this year. I assume the whole process will last for many years.

Kind regards

Dieter
