What has happened to this car in the past 22 months since this post was started? That 300 is too nice to part out.
Any current pic?

The only thing that has happened to this car is ownership changed
 
I could really use the wheel well and rocker trim. That's 300 only stuff. If you want to sell, that would be great.
 
How is interior? PW? Back seat with center speaker? Console? :)

On the parts front I found a gentleman in Nevada with the parts but I lost his number and the parts were almost 1k dollars. It just makes more sense to do it this way. Plus there is shipping or driving to pick up parts. The only one who makes money on parts are UPS, Fed-Ex etc.

So if you sell the trim and other parts off this car to others, then there is all the boxing, communicating, pulling the parts and shipping hassle (and associated lost time) you are mentioning that I thought you wanted to avoid?

If you sell the car whole to someone, especially someone overseas like the Finland comment in this thread, you could make quite a profit if this car does run, even with a bent pushrod. I don't know what you have in that car, but I suspect it is around $2000. Guys in Finland or Germany will pay easily 3 to 4 times that for your car since it does run (even with a bent pushrod), is complete and seemingly rust free plus great colors and options. Then you could still buy the parts you need from Murray Park (I would just have a body guy fix the dented valence on your convertible unless it is completely hammered). And I will just send you an AM bezel for shipping cost. This is really a good opportunity for you - think about it! Do you really want to part out that car and box and ship parts to others who might pay you when they say they will (Big John aside) or all the other hassles associated with parting a car? You will have plenty of cash from such a sale to buy whatever you might still need for your convertible and much more (and your convertible is already pretty nice from what I recall). Look beyond your present needs and think more about the big picture. And save a great car in the process and have extra cash for your convertible!
 
If you want to keep this car stateside, contact me.
 
That condition car at Finland would cost easily 11-14k euros.

Thanks for speaking up, the car does look to be way too nice to be parted out and crushed. I am sure someone would be happy to have it.

So you really do want to involve yourself with the time and aggevation of selling parts and are content to let the car rot in your back field when someone in the world could actually restore it to its former glory and enjoy it - all because it is too much trouble to order the parts you need from reputable sellers from all the money you could make by selling the car. I don't think you are really one of us.....................
Enjoy your convertible.
 
I am Very Proud of those who stood up for the 300, But those who wanted parts.....Shame on you.

Huh???
Got news for you... used parts come from wherever you can get them. If you want a decent used piece, it's most likely going to come from a decent car.

His intention is/was to keep the car for parts for the car he is working on... He was nice enough to offer parts to those of us that need them. Too many times people hoard parts that they will never need or use.

No one here said "hey... you need to part that car out". I offered to buy trim I really need.... after he asked if anyone needs parts. So... "shame on me" for trying to make my car complete.

If you really think that car should be saved, put your money where your mouth is and offer to buy it. Shame on you if you don't.
