There are several 300 letter cars for sale and in that group a 1962 300H in Jade green with a jade green interior. Looks great, updated brake system and if we would check more closely there are probably other items as well. How would one find out what the vin numbers are on these cars? Jerry Lindsay Seminole, Fl.

In one building he had 150 convertibles and in another building he had 100 to 125 hrdtps. He passed away this past summer and now all of the cars (248) are going to be auctioned off the end of Feb. by Meccum. The cars are in decent shape and I know there is at least a C300 and a 300 there along with just about anything else you could imagine including 3 Ford retractable, several Cadillac converts and about a dozen Rolls-Royces. I believe the sale is either the 27th or 28th of Feb or possibly both days. I'm sure Meccum will have it on their website. Good luck to anyone interested. We're going to go and see how things turn out.

Scottsdale BJ no reserve unless they agree your car is worth $500k. At their Vegas auction it's $150k. Russo Steele allows reserves but makes suggestions. They sent a rep out to look at three of my cars, spent four hours and days later got back to me with a suggested reserve. Their response was that "they're there to sell cars not host a car show". I get that but in a questionable market if I needed to sell the choice between a low reserve at Russo and no reserve at Barrett I'd go with Barrett.
Sent from my iPod I think in the crazy days of the early 2000's, they went the no reserve route, and now have allowed some reserve cars again. I also think you can pay a premium to get a Saturday or Sunday slot?

I think the no reserve thing may have kept a lot of cars away. In any event, it appears that you may now have a reserve on the sale. Of course, there is a risk involved with taking the B-J route. Cars are sold at no reserve. If you end up with a lousy day/time, the car may sell for less than it would on Saturday night. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 6:13 PM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] 300-G at B-J. I guess the answer is that if you have a really nice letter car and want to sell it, you should at least consider BJ. Of course, if you sell it there the proceeds may be taxable whereas if you sell it privately, uncle will probably not know about the sale. I'm with you Pete, it's a positive thing for letter car owners. There is a greater awareness. Heck I would have sold my G to the buyer for $100,000.00, saved the buyer some dinner money! Are we better off with the G selling at $200,000 or at $45,000? I would submit that having it sell for more is better than having it sell for less. Pete Fitch
Sent from my iPhone IMHO - I think you would be dreaming to think the price of other G's just rose anywhere near 20% based on one car's sale, especially if G owners begin to test the market and flood it with inventory. There just aren't the buyers out there to support the demand at that price point, even as investments. A knee jerk reaction may ensue to some degree but I would be surprised if it could be sustained. Even if it pushes prices 20% higher it's heading in a positive direction. It's not unlike a comp for real estate, supply vs demand. If the BJ auction begins to set a tone and begin the wave then be ready for the ride. Right after the auction a neighbor (classic car guy) of mine calls me and tells me about the sale then says "your car is really valuable Matt, it's easy to thing it's worth less!" If the car is marketed right, at the right venue you might hit it right. Matt Ostrowski
Sent from my iPad I don't know about the rest of you but a single sale a BJ wouldn't sway me to pay more or less today than I would have yesterday. All it takes is for a couple of guys with more money (or credit) than good sense to get into a pissing contest over the same car and the price moves well beyond what the real market will bare. Time will tell if overall values of all G's will actually be impacted beyond next week. I wouldn't get too excited just yet or someone will be posting there dismay at the 'poor' result the next auction brings when a similar car only brings $100k.
Sent from my iPhone Stick or no stick that sale just raised the values of all existing G's. It's a good thing. Matthew Ostrowski
Sent from my iPad For anyone who missed it a 300-G three speed stick car was sold for $200,000.
As usual the broadcasters had some things wrong but, for the most part they had good things to say about the car.
I wonder how much of that sales price was due to the stick shift.
