Re: {Chrysler 300} MCACN car show.

Seconding Nick's and Mark's comments, MCACN was another huge winner again this year. Its organizer, Bob Ashton, had told John Begian months ago there would be more and emphasis on Mustangs this year and less on Mopars, but everywhere we looked we saw Mopar Heaven. And, seeing four 413 longram cars there was a MCACN 'first' and a real treat, each of them owned by one of our 300 Club's members - the white G coupe, Peter Pellicani's '61 Newport 4-door sedan factory 3-speed stick purchased new by his father that we saw at our Spring '23 Hershey Meet, Danny Plotkin's black '61 Savoy 2-door sedan and a metallic green '61 Dart Pioneer 2-door sedan. And Mike Paipel's '62 Dart 330 sedan 413 MaxWedge. Many Club members in attendance Saturday - rolled in early Saturday with John Begian and Jim Bielenda, visted with - Al MacDonald, D'Andrea Vantree, Brian Frank, Joe Jordan, along with others mentioned here, as well as several Chicagoland Mopar Connection buddies.

A Saturday morning highlight was the MCACN unveiling of Joe Jordan's just-restored Lemon Twist '70 Road Runner convertible, 4-speed 440 6-Barrel beauty. During the unveiling, Joe was interviewed by Chris Jacobs of Velocity Channel and mentioned his several Letter Cars including his '60 Pont-a-Mouissin 300-F coupe. Kicking around thoughts with Joe there, he's envisioning a special MCACN Letter Car display in a couple years, so stay tuned.

Attached a few photos, if you haven't seen these beauties.

It was great seeing everyone at MCACN Saturday. Matthew and I spent the morning taking in all the incredible cars. I think I only missed seeing one or two Club friends. I came back briefly Sunday evening and saw (and heard) many of of these cars leaving the venue. Joe's and Danny's cars were spectacular. Neat to see Nick in cold Chicago.

Sitting in the airport in Chicago waiting for my flight home after being here for the Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals. Had a great time, especially seeing the 1971 Dodge Charger R/T that I sold in 2016 to buy my 300F. I owned it for 30 years as a project car and now it's fully restored and I couldn't be happier. Many people asked me if I missed owning it and my answer is always, not as much as I enjoy owning and driving my 300F.

Connected with many people and make several new friends.

Had a nice visit with Joe Jordan yesterday and during our chat, he mentioned that he had tried to buy a Terra Cotta 300F back in 1969. I have an archive of saved 300F newspaper clippings from 1960 to 1970 and sure enough, I had the ad he saw for it. He knows the current owner and he's going to pass it on.

Here are pictures of my Charger.
