If I was going to win the car, I would not want anyone
else to do anything to it. I would want to make my own decision as to what
I would do with it. (I would leave it alone and show her the way she came
out of the vault). If I wanted springs under her, then I
would do that.

Hi Marv -
I believe one set of photos showed the body being supported by three
sheets of 3/4" plywood. Since the car should not be moving after this brief
trip to East Tulsa, I feel that this would be opening up a Pandora's box in
terms of "well as long as we're repairing the springs, we might as
well..."

brouhaha"
I want to make a suggestion. A lot of discussion has been going
on relative to what will become of Miss Belvedere. A lot has been
said about not touching her. Leave her alone. OK. But do we
think that she can continue to limp around with a loose rear axle?
What if we were to undertake providing a set of springs for her,
to at least make her transportable and provide her some dignity while on
display.
Now I know that this Friday someone will be named as owner but
if she is awarded with the rear wheels rubbing on the wheelhouse, well,
we might never get a chance at preserving her. I am sure the
Dodge dealer would install them and I will bet she will continue to be a
tourist attraction through the summer.
My thought turns to having Mike Eaton..spring supplier to the 300 club,
make up a set and ship them out. I would bet a $5.00 contribution from
everyone would meet the $300 or so price tag. I don't consider
this restoration. Even if she was in her youthful glory she would
probably need some spring work. Let's discuss this suggestion in
a reasonable tone and see if there is support or other suggestions on what
we as a club can do. I met a lot of fine MoPar people this past week.
I bet if we had a collection can next to her for preservation we
might have filled it.
While we were in Tulsa and not necessarily watching the evening news
last Friday, I am told that Miss Belvedere was on the ABC
evening news with Charlie Gibson.
