Those are not 2944450 wheels, and it has the wrong master cylinder... should have a 2229191.
5 very expensive parts... $4000-$6000 worth
Just doing some looking, finding those wheels doesn't look like a fun task.

But, you asked, and everybody tried to help. Oh agreed! I've already started making a list and will begin getting the pieces mentioned. My point above was that I would have been ok if the car was far off. Since it's not terribly far off, I'll start collecting the items needed to slowly get these details right. Will everything get done, not sure, but I'll at least start gathering the parts.

Just one more word of wisdom. There are several well documented faults with the car. Some will even be expensive to cure. But I see a car that can be enjoyed, comes equipped with a rarity that will still will bring pride to the owner. Who knows, it five years you might uncover the parts to make it perfect. Just my opinion. Craig

The only time we trailer something, is an event like Carlisle. I took 8 cars to that event, we trailed 5 cars up. Next year I'll bring around 10. I thought you said you weren't a car show guy when I suggested a Carlisle trip above?

There's a difference between attending and participating in a show for fun, rather than enter into a judged event, which was what you recommended, I asssume the OP's vehicles were most likely "Invitational Display" participants

I just read he wasn't a car show guy. Bringing 10 cars to Carlisle. Wow!

This was my setup at Carlisle this year. I setup on the manufactures Midway and pull out Saturday night. Next year plan on having a big tent 30 x 100 and will display 8 convertibles and 2 other cars. Still working out details, meeting with Carlisle shows this weekend at Sema. AACA charity event a few weeks ago. I left right as judging started haha Impressive, VERY impressive. I would walk right past a Hemi Challenger to ck these out .

That Hemi Challenger is a gorgeous and very desirable car. I am sure everyone here would love to own it! You have a fantastic collection! Oh I wouldnt turn it down. But if it came down to it versus either a 61 Chrysler 300 or maybe even a 58-59 300 conv. Its no contest for me. the 300 wins every time. A buddy of mine has a 1958 300 conv ( major MAJOR project) he has been trying to sell me. I just cant wrap my head around that kind of project at this stage in my life . Had he offered it to me 20 years ago, I probably would have bought it.

If you are looking to improve the OEM appearance this is a good place to start if you have thick skin. There are others such as Performance Car Restoration in Canada, Frank Badalson, Mike Mansini, and lot of other choices that do OEM GOLD restorations. I like the car the way it is, Improve it over time with correct numbers and date coding and stamps and stuff like that but do use it like it was built for.
