| I think it costs about the same really - imho to really fix rust on one that needs a new trunk floor as it does to patch fix one with “ only a few holes “ in trunk .Both need a new panel to do it right Even worse is a “ a not too bad one, “—say quarter panel was fixed — with bad stuff starting everywhere , you pay for 85% the price of a good one —- your big bucks paint job on one of those shows some bubbles at window rubber and rocker seam the next year no thanks Honest rust fixed right — the car is forever ok on our time scale, and it costs you 30 -40 k less . Not making money in this , but more important —- car is like new and you know every inch of it … crucial is that it is all there ….

Folks that visited Randy Guyer’s collection saw the work of ‘Rusty Mike’. I didn’t know he had that nickname. The reality is that this 300H is gonna require extensive metal work. A second look at the photos shows a bondo-sculpted fender with a chunk or two that has already fallen out. The condition of the data plate probably gives a hint as to what lies underneath all that faded paint. But hey, if this is your dream car and you have the time, money and love parts hunting, go for it. My 59 Dodge convertible looked much worse when I found it.

Subject: RE: {Chrysler 300} Re: 300H on Facebook Marketplace We don’t have all the H build records, but we have most of them. Of those records that are extant, the number of H coupes that were built with 999 interiors is in the single digits (club member only info – not to be shared with general public – Bob can get you exact numbers if desired). Not all would have been red interiors. Maybe 2 or 3? How many are left? This is only the second one I have seen in 40+ years. Rust? Bondo? Heck, if this was a finned car someone would be all over it. “Rusty Mike” in MN, for example, could restore this car to concours condition – with ease. It probably isn’t rusty enough for him. Yes, it would cost you more to restore the car than it would likely sell for in the marketplace. So what. Most of us are underwater on our cars. It about the love of the marque. I’ve said enough; sorry for the rant. I can’t take this car on. I hope that somebody can. Carl I agree that a combo of white over red interior in a 300H would look great! <image002.png> On a more positive note, it is a genuine H, known to the Club, and note that it is a 999 special order interior in red leather (maybe 1 of 1 or 1 of 2?), basically intact, complete, with A/C, seven button radio, etc. Possibly correct original running engine (looks correct at least, except for the oil breather cap/fill tube). Maybe only worth 6.5k to Ron, but hopefully someone sees enough value here to get the car and restore it. Can’t be very many 999 H’s around. Just my 2c Carl B. For a rusty car with an unknown amount of bondo in the quarters, that also needs mechanical work, I’d say his price is about 10K too high.
