Hi Bro,
Guess where I am? I am in Detroit, where it was 5 this morning, and 0 when I came home from work....along with very high winds (can you say -20+ on the wind chill factor?). What a departure from 70's at home! Good to hear you had the car out. I had the Camaro out with Taylor Thursday before I left, and did two nice drifting burn outs for the hell of it!

-----Gary,,,You must have been in the city where its warm. You should be north of town about an hour or so where it does get a bit frosty. Had to wear a sweatshirt today........Bill S

Don't forget the hat!

There were 9 Chrysler 300F's equipped with the 4 speed. because of the custom nature of the conversions,the 4 speed shifter differed between some of the models. See this link for more photos.

Here is a shot of the 4 speed shifter from about 12-18 mos. ago at the Pavillions. It is more like a toggle switch

Hey Gary....nice! I bet you are happy

------Wow, Paul!!! That Mopar must be a bit more than 400hp. I love the headlight air-horns. Would like to make a pass in that baby........Bill S

I read another article about Granatelli's 300F that they took the car to Bonneville,changed the gears down to 2.76 or so and got that beast up to 194 MPH. At that speed the fins actually provided lateral stability.
It was an awesome car.
