Hello Everyone,
I just found this site this morning after reading about this 300 Sport problem on the "Forward Look" site. It's always a risk with these kind of things, and in this case, the seller is the loser.
I decided to register on your site because I too, recently bought a 300 Sport convertible. I am so glad that the fellow that I bought mine from in LA is as much of a gentleman as he is. He went out of his way to ensure that I was able to drive the car up I-5 to British Columbia without any problems. The car had sat for 12 years and needed the brakes done, from master cylinder on down, which he did for me at no additional cost. Same thing with the tires.....he installed new radials at his expense, along with new belts, hoses, and a complete tune up and carb kit. Couldn't have asked for a better man to deal with...... now he's become a good friend. He and his family are welcome at my front door any time they can make it up here.
As for the car, it's a rust free LA car that needs a lot of cosmetic work. The 413 runs and drives very well and the car is reasonably tight for it's age. I had a 'H' convert 30 odd years ago and obviously should not have let it go......but who knew?...... after getting this one I'm beginning to feel redeemed.......I've had a '62 300 Sport 4 door hard top for a number of years that I had ignored due to " life getting in the way"......now I'm stoked up again and want to do them up.......I'm attaching a photo of them both and 'Chrysler Special Car Order" sheet which I found under the dash behind the Astrodome in the convertible......Thanks again for having me on board......Chris....
