I couldn’t have sold my ‘68 Coronet R/T without doing that and it actually turned out to be a fun couple of days.
Found - 61 300G Disassembled - What's it worth?

You and the sale of your 68 R/T were who I was thinking of.....;)

That's not a bad idea, I'll propose it to the owners. Thanks everyone!
Hello Dave,
I'm in North Reading and own a 300G convertible, so am interested in the collection of parts that used to be a 300G coupe. I'd like to go see the car/parts to try and guess how much may be missing. Thanks,

Don’t do it! It’s still a car and a damn good one at that!

Noah - Weather permitting I'll be at Kitty's tomorrow night - let's talk. Look for my Bahama Yellow 71 340 Duster
I've restored a 55, 57, and 61 in the past, and might very well have one more resto in me now that I'm retired, but it would depend a lot on how much was missing, especially the unique ram intake and exhaust, and making sure it has the correct engine, and not an arbitrary 413 from back in the day.
Great! I'll either be in my G convertible (white) or my Hurst. I've seen your Duster before, so will be looking for you. If weather is somewhat iffy, I might be in my 2005 300C station wagon (that Chrysler didn't build- started as a Magnum, but I'm a 300 guy so...)

Post a few pics of this in a new thread, or do a photo garage.
You don't want that 300G. It'll be a money pit and youll go screaming into the night waaaaay before it's done. Let me help you, help yourself. I'll take it and relieve you of much misery........
Best of luck and hope you can finalize the deal!!
I'm in COMPLETE agreement....a three year restoration on my 300C here became an EMOTIONAL and FINANCIAL nightmare. No, we don't "do" these for ROI (return on investment) and if we did, we'd be like the US Govt., running in the red forever. My 300C sucked the life out of me at times given specialty parts availability and costs. Yes, the car is iconic, it's gorgeous, and a head turner, but like stated above, owners are dying, the collectable factor is diminishing and the appeal of these things, in my experience, is that the niche is really, really, getting small. I'm 63 and I think I'm a youngster in Letter Car circles...Want a Letter Car? Great! Buy a done car, pay the right money and enjoy it... I have had more than my share of invested money, time and tears....than to want more again. The nice thing about doing my resto was that I KNOW what's in the car...the bad thing? ALL OF THE ABOVE! I'm so under water in it that I don't even think about it. And then, I started hoarding parts..."just because" and of course, we all do this. I have an extra "this" and two of "these" and then I see the ads for stuff and a lot of the parts aren't even moving. My 300C has probably dropped in value though I increase the insurance each year....duh!
Buy a done car, repair/fix/upgrade to your heart's content and network with the two 300 Clubs, great resources, this site, and other owners....
Anyway, my one cent....I had two cents but the 300C sucked it up! Newport 66 is spot on with those remarks!!!!!
Good luck!
Leftover C parts? Do you have any extra trim that goes on the passenger side fender above the front bumper? It's a pot metal piece above the front bumper. Thanks,
Hi, If you're referring to that chrome trim piece, sorry, that's just one of the parts that the ahole chrome guy lost or destroyed....and Gary Goers had ONE left. I bought it, but it was about 1/16'' smaller (Gary told me so before buying it) and thus, the fender had to be repainted to avoid having the paint "line" revealed from the original piece. I wish I could help you here. Do you need the tri color 300 badge for the deck lid? I think they're available new from-and you can download Gary's old catalogue as a PDF. If not reach out and I can check to see what's packed away. I know how hard it is to find parts!

Edit: I’m trying to help also. It won’t be any delay with them, They are up and running now. We know it is past tense, but nobody else here does. That’s my reason I posted this message.
Carry on!
