Too bad the car ended up in the wrong hands. I suppose its original drivetrain was donated to the B body next to it in the first two photos.

Does that mean eventually our C bodies will become ultra rare? My car came from a Mopar guy who wanted the engine. Thankfully, it was drinking down oil which saved it.

I would have jumped at it myself had I seen it earlier .

How do you know this? That engine might have been in the 300 before he got it.

That is why I said "suppose". Why would he pull the engine if it was in it when he got it? He already has a B body project going on and doesn't seem to have done much else with the 300 or want to keep it either. I could surely be wrong, but I can't help but be a little cynical given the circumstances. But you have a valid point too.

No single word about if the rear valance panel is around the car or not.
