Hi

I'm new to the forum as a registared user although I have been reading the threads for a while. I have just bought A RHD 1969 300 saloon (I'm in the UK hence the RHD).

I say apparently a 300 because while the car is badged as a 300 it has a straight 6 motor in it not a V8. The UK Log book on the car says its a 3.0L engine but I have only heard of 2.8's in the straight 6 format for this period. I am assuming the 8 has died at some point and because of the cost of these things was replaced with a straight 6 which the then owner assumed was a 3.0 but wondered if anyone out there might know what this baby is? The other thought is that its just a 280 wearing a 300 badge (Badge theft was very common over here in the 90's due to a certain New York three piece group!

Anyway if it helps she has an auto box, Power assisted steering, central locking and electric windows (No air con or sun roof

Any thoughts?

Cheers
