I'mlisting this for a co-worker (before we both retired) and longtime friend, he hasn't sold on e-bay before, so I offered to help write up the description and post it up here.
He was getting ready to ad a car to his growing collection 13 years ago, and asked my opinion between two cars he was looking at. I suggested the 300C, which he ended up getting. I always liked the clean lines of the 57-59 300 letter cars. They weren't as garish as some of the other models at that time, more of an "honest" look, I thought. And under the hood sat that magical 392 hemi. I remember the first time he gave me a ride in it. He slid the key in the ignition. He reached his left hand to the push buttons there. Oh yeah, push button transmission, I remembered. He pushed the "N" button that doubles as the engine start button. The engine rumbled to life. The car felt like we were floating. But there was always that rumble, so you could tell, if asked, the car would just jump when you got on it.
I moved from Colorado Springs to Reno, but Joe would e-mail me, telling me about the car events he would take the 300C or one of his other cars too. They always seem to draw some nice attention/comments (and trophies). He's retired, so he has time to look after them, and he tends to collect the kind of cars that stand out at a car show anyway.
