Seeing what he does, he is used to clients who have more money than sense or good taste. Meanwhile, a British company with the same attitude to ruining classic cars has gone bust, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwRt1fQSNV0 Back in the real world, a driving, older restoration 300D on Bring a Trailer was only bid to $20K. Hope he doesn’t buy that and sell it off for parts.

The guy will get annoyed that no one is stepping up and paying his ridiculous prices. So, since he probably doesn’t need the money, he’ll crush all the bits, then post photos on social media. Neil Freman would be proud. Ron From: 'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International I have been following this thread with some amusement. It reminds me of a phenomenon here in San Francisco. In this case it is with commercial real estate. People who own say three or four buildings with ground floor retail space or those with apartments. Even though some blocks have a 30% ground floor retail vacancy rate, they never drop their price. Same thing for some apartment buildings empty units. In many cases these folks do not need the money. But they will not lower the price to the market. Why? I have observed that it is often about bragging rights. They have other friends with property, and they want to brag about how much they are getting for it. They would rather have it sit empty, sometimes for several years, rather than rent it out at what the current market will bear. I think sometime in classic car circles the same phenomenon happens. With cars and parts. Sad that this person made himself a very nice and interesting Hot Rod, yet instead of passing on the parts to the “other end” of the Hobby to facilitate the restoration and maintenance of 300 G’s he sits on the parts like some kind of Holy Cash Grail. The stuff will never sell, and his estate will either junk them or sell them cheap at some point. James From: 'royjrdaniel' via Chrysler 300 Club International <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> He told me people were offering him $2000. Just for the side emblems. I stopped reading his text after that. I am restoring a E right now that is complete and can have my own parts restored for cheaper than what he's asking for in used parts Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: 'my65cuda' via Chrysler 300 Club International <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 3/21/24 6:46 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Nick Taylor <nicksgaragesd@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Noel Hastalis <cpaviper@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "Chrysler 300 Club International, Inc." <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} E parts for sale - It is because nobody will buy it. There aren’t exactly a lot of 59s being restored right now in need of these parts. He would happily sell them if there were legitimate buyers around. Sent from my iPhone
