Page 1 - My car in Phoenix, Az (USA)

In december '98, I was on a three weeks vacation with some friends in Phoenix, Az.
These friends bought 2  '65 Chrysler 300's for $500.- from a DemoDerby-guy who 'just' needed the engines...
One was a Hardtop and the other was a Convertible.

Here the convertible is towed onto the yard. This is the first time I ever see the car...

Being a Mopar guy, I took some photos of the car.

Up to now, I hadn't thought about buying the car, because it obviously needed a lot of work.
But a couple of months later, back in the Netherlands, I did decide to buy the convertible from my friends.
Upon their next trip to the USA, I asked them to get the car re-upholstered, and with their next trip, to bring it to the Netherlands.

This is how it arrived back from the upholsterer.
