i do not know if it matters to you but if the car was build in january and the engine january 22 its probably not the original engine. usually the so date and engine date are about 30 days apart.

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Hola all Thank you very much for all your coments and congratulations. I appreciate it very much. Today I contacted the seller with my wish to get a picture of the license plate at the a pillar and the engine number at the boss above the water pump. As a 12 to 13 year old I was more than one time passenger in my 25 yo neighbors his wonderful red '67 Plymouth Fury III 2d hardtop (383 Super Commando engine w/ dual exhaust). It was that impressive to me that I'm addicted in Mopars, now especially FLK mopars. Happy Motoring! Dieter |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Early this morning I got the link to the photobucket basket with about 140 pictures. From what I can on the parts desk and the pictures of the eninge bay it's almost for sure that the engine is frozen. The complete engine and carburettors are corroded. The hand brake drum has been removed as well as the lower cover of the torque converter and the starter motor with burnt wires. it needs a full restoration for sure. Happy Motoring! Dieter |

Yes the roof was like every MoPar (Ply/Do) in 1967 had. Even the 1967 Dodge Coronet had the same roofline. I just could have a look at e.g. classic car trader to see if I'll find a similar car.

I assume it's possible that it doesn't cover the 300 F because the 300 F was IMHO not available from the very beginning of the model year. I was keeping an eye to your Saratoga as well for a certain time. The trigger to wake up my interest on a 1960 Chrysler woke up when I had the opportunity to drive Sven's Saratoga behind the steering wheel. When I was a boy decades back I was passing a 1961 or 1962 Chrysler everey Wednesday during school time while walking to my Grand Mam's to get lunch. Long time at youtube I was watching 1961 and 1961 hardtops. For me it was sunny clear to get a hardtop again. As time was passing by the front end of the 1960 became more and more attractive. Finally the F became my dream car. I don't know when exactly, but not many weeks ago I told my friend (Sven) that I know I'll get a 300 F within a time span of 10 years. How I got the F I could write PM if you're interested. Kind regards Dieter |

Jan in Sweden (friend to Sven ) Hello Jan Thank you very much for your message. I assume it's your's F (Looking for information about a white F conv. from Texas)? During the last call we had (Sven and I) whe were eloberating the way how to get my Letter back to the road. At this time he told me about his project and within this he mentioned you as an owner of an F as well. I'm more than very impressed about the work of Jan Fridberg. There is not that much rust preset as on convertibles of the same model year. I assume the trunk floor needs to be replaced as well as the area of the floor very close to the rockers. Who knows if there would be an opportunity to meet you. Kind regards Dieter |

I always wanted a 300-F as well, but I am very happy with the Saratoga, and was not ready to do a complete restoration of a car, and nice 300-Fs was out of my price range. SO as it turned out, the Saratoga fit my purposes, with some minor and medium issues to deal with, but no body work or upholstery needed. It's still a work in progress but I enjoy driving it , and have put 22,000 miles on it since 2008. We'll be taking it on another road trip this summer to a WPC Meet in Oregon, in the US. about a day's drive from here. |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | I'm still seeking a drive shaft for my Letter. It's really awful - nobody answered. For the drive shaft I got some more information regarding the cars used at.
- 1960 Dodge D500 (/w 383 and ram induction)
- 1960 Plymouth with the Sonoramic commando (383 /w ram induction)
- 1960 Chrysler 300 F
- 1961 Plymouth /w 318 and Torque Flite or heavy duty 3 speed manual transmission - but beware there are to different sizes of B/T (I guess) used under the same parts number (2 3/4" and 3
1/4"). The 1961 Plymouth /w Power Flite used the standard 1960 drive shaft (1856 933 instead of 1856 931 like the 3 speed auto and 3 speed heavy duty manual).
I think there must be some cars lying around...
BTW the u-joint is the same on all 1960 cars from ChryCo. I assume the difference is the diameter of the drive shaft or the thickness of the wall of the drive shaft. I assume the 1960 Chrysler
used the 3 1/4" B/T. Kind regards Dieter |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | The drive shaft I'm seeking (1856 931) was used in 1959 as well. Following cars with this configuration were equipped with the same drive shaft. MP2 Plymouth with V8 engines (Belvedere, Savoy), MP2 Sub (Belvedere, Savoy Suburban) with V8 and Torqueflite MD2 Dodge Coronet with V8 and Torqueflite MD3 Dodge Royal, Custom Royal all or with Powerflite MS1 De Soto Firesweep with V8 and Powerflite All in all I assume there were few thousends of this drive shaft with the 3 1/4" b/t produced. I'm rather sure some of these cars are lying around in junk jards, e.g. with no engine and eventually no transmission but with the drive shaft still in the car. Kind regards Dieter

I know it will be a long way to bring it back to close to concours state. But it's worth to do it. Happy Motoring! Dieter BTW: at the picture you could recognise 15 inch wheels at the rear axle. Big thank you to the seller who noticed it and replaced the wheels with the wheels of a 1965 L parts car with better tires.

Location: ZH, Switzerland | My Letter is on the vessel now since March 28th. The vessel heads to Bremerhaven in Germany where it should arrive at the end of calendar week 15. In Switzerland the manager of the shipping company (sea fright) expects it at the end of calender week 16 or beginning of calender week 17. Calendar week 17 is exactyl the week I planned to pick up my Beast (Chrysli) at Wizard's.... I hope I'll have a save ride back home (1500 km/ 932 mi within two days). From calendar week 23 on I got space in a storage location for both of my FLK cars. During my season holiday I plan to start with the disassemblage of the small parts like lights, bumpers, grille, radiator and so on... Happy Motoring! Dieter |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Thank you very much to my friends in Sweden. Today - few minutes ago - I got the confirmation that my Letter would ride inside the container until it's in Basel. Even though the container will be unloaded from the vessel in Bremerhaven, Germany. Happy Easter Season! Dieter BTW: from the original sized pictures (e.g. 1110) I could recognise that even the starter motor is still attached to the bellhouse and that both exhaust pipes are looking more like cut than broken after the bandage. Nice to see are the lines of the transmission cooler forth and back to the transmission and - I've never saw a reinforced rear suspension on a 300 F like my Letter shows. The reinforcement looks more like from an Imperial or a station wagon with special order. I don't know if there was a special option available like that for a 300 F/G. I try to keep it like it is, but refreshed, freed from rust and recolored.

Location: Småland Sweden | I bet you are counting the days until you can pick it up. My F also has something similar on the rear springs. Don´t know if it´s some aftermarket stuff or not. Maybe you can take a look at my F when you´re going to Sven to pick up your 56? I live about an hour or so from Sven. My F is a coupé partially restored to a nice driver 25 years ago.
Happy Easter!

I'm interested so see your F as well. I don't know if the picture I got from Sven few weeks ago with his JoseFin, a white 57 or 58 Plymouth convertible, a white F and a red or brown 60 or 61 Plymouth station wagon in front of his home - the F is yours? The picture was taken back in May 2010. Actually the most difficult part to find or get are new or NOS brake return springs for 3 platform 12" brakes for all four corners. ----> but I found a source.... Kanter. I ordered a set and I'll see if they would fit... Happy Easter to you as well! Dieter

Yes these helper springs are looking quite similar. I don't know why there are helper springs installed. Might be that one owner wanted to get a firmer ride. But in my opinion it doesn't make sense without reinforcing the front suspension (e.g. thicker torsion bars and / or stronger sway bar). Happy Easter! Dieter |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Actually the vessel it at Rotterdam since April 7th, 23:15h UTC. The draught from New York to Amsterdam was 9.6 meter. From Amsterdam to Rotterdam 10.6 meter. Actually the labor workers at Rotterdam port apparently are unloading some containers. The current draught is 10.1 meter. Planned is that the container containing my Letter will be unloaded from the vessel in Bremerhaven and the container is expected in Switzerland between April 17th and April 21th. It's exactly the day I'll take the airplane to Kobenhagen to enter the train to visit Wizard. I think I'm going to ask if the shipping company will keep my Letter until I'm back in Switzerland (around April 24th or 25th). Happy Motoring! Dieter |

I hope with no damage because IMHO the employees are very experienced. I'm very eager to see my Letter. But I got a time conflict with my journey to Sven. I hope I could visit the shipping company prior or after the journey to be at the company when they are unloading my Letter. Take care my friends, Dieter

Location: ZH, Switzerland | My Letter is now in Switzerland. This morning I got the original title and the message from the shipping company, that my Letter is available to pick up at any time (during business hours I assume). It's just a matter of time until the road assistance company (where my former neighbor is employed at) will find time to transport it to me. Happy Motoring, Dieter

Congratulations!
Are any of the parts from a '62 regular 300 hardtop shared with yours? I am parting out one, so if you need anything, let me know. |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Thank you Brad for your offer. I'll see what is common and what I need starting at June 2015. Do you have time to wait a little bit? Today I met my Letter. It is packed in plastic to protect it. Through the plastic I noticed that the drivers door window is closed and at the trunk lid the medaillon is missing. It was present at the time of the loading in San Jose. Because it is packed in plastic and one (most probabely the upper one) door hinge is missing at the drivers door I couldn't get access to the passenger compartment to look after it. I give a very low chance that the medaillon is in the car... but it could be that it got lost during the transport on the car hauler (low chance). The fuel neck door at the back works better than in my Beast (no squeezing). The metal sheet under the door looks like new. From the seller I got the message that one door hinge was bent. He removed it and didn't get a replacement in the right time. But he could get it either and will send it to me. Happy Motoring! Dieter BTW: Stealing people (thieves) are no friends at all
