Re: [Chrysler300] c300 at Barrett-Jackson

 Picking up on the quality of "restoration" that Jim states, did you notice in the B-J photos on the car that BOTH interior door handles were missing for this "restored" car! Does that give you any security that other less obvious things may have been wrong or glossed over with a can of spray bomb or electrical tape?
I think the car may have gone a bit cheap but in actuality, maybe the car really needed a correct restoration and not a fluffball job just to get it to the infamous B-J circus.

Just my observation,

Unless a car is ultra-rare in its own right, e.g., a Bugatti, the price depends almost entirely on the perceived quality of the restoration.?? A 1958 Edsel Corsair convertible went for $22000 (24000 with the buyer's commission), while?a 1955 Buick 4dr went for $40000 ($44000 with?buyer's commission).? Other than the 300C and a 300K hardtop, I have not seen any other letter cars in this years auction.?

Hi ?,
If the engine compartment was any indication about the rest of the car, that's your answer. It also needed a set of new door sill plates.

Can anyone shed some light on why the '55 c300 went for less than


$30,000 at auction today? I am totally baffled and worried about the

value of my c300.
