He was selling it so if you’re interested and have LOTS of money it could be yours. I liked the engine but believe to have this kinda car you have to be the one that built it, or at least spent the money. Great car all the same!

I liked the engine but believe to have this kinda car you have to be the one that built it, or at least spent the money. Great car all the same! I could not agree with you more. But others buy cars like these to collect. They have the money to pay to have one done, they just lack the vision to see there own car through the modding process. They would rather buy one all finished and say it is theres and it was built for them.
This car is owned by AJ Greeco. D. Zeckhausen got most of the work done for this car, for the owner.
Read post 25, 27 and 28 of this thread. This 300 has already been mentioned. Never hurts to mention it again.

AJ Greco's car is the #1 300C car in the world... PERIOD!
the pictures you see above do not do it justice...
you have to see this car in person...
there is over $150,000 invested in it...
the paint job is the best on a 300C - the detail is outstanding - the rear SRT8 logo actually looks "real" - it is airbrushed in and looks like it is stuck on like an emblem - a 3d look... - that type of detail...
the MOTON shocks are a one off and were $7,500 alone...
this car has every imaginable item that can be upgraded and not be obnoxious...
it is the pinnicle of what can be done on a 300C...
thanks AJ for investing the time, money and energy into bringing us this car.
if you do sell it to the guys in Australia - bring it to Crystal Cove one more time...
I'll park next to you anytime...
so people can see where your creation started from...
Sincerely,
cbutler32
AJ Greeco's Silver and Blue 300SRT is the first and hottest 300 to come out of the 300 customizing world. This is not a Corporations show car. This is an individual's personal car. Our own Dave Zeckhausen personally made this car happen for AJ. Dave sent this car all over the country for various installs.
I had a hand in this car, but you're giving me way too much credit. AJ was the man with the vision and did most of the coordinating. And the vast amount of work was done by Daryl and Tim Cinbanin at CIMTEK Rods in Texas. I did help AJ buy the beast at my favorite dealership in Langhorn, PA while his local Las Vegas dealership was asking $50K over sticker. (Not a typo! This was when the SRT8 was fresh on the scene.)

First SRT with Stop-Tech's
This is true. StopTech wasn't going to make a kit for this car anytime soon, so I had to expend a bunch of political capital to get them to do this. This is a car with very good brakes out of the box, so it wasn't first (to say the least) on their product planning sheet.

Was the test car for the first set of Kook's long tube headers. For all who have the Kooks headers (You can thank AJ and Dave) for getting them to us.
Again, too much credit to me and AJ. This was indeed the car John Kook used to design the long tube headers. However, he had just purchased his own SRT8 and was about to use his car for the project. Since we were on a tight schedule for the SEMA show, he used AJ's car for the first set. Even if AJ's car had never existed, you all would still have the Kooks header option, probably even on the same schedule. It was just coincidence that we called Kooks to make these and he already had his own 2-day old SRT8 at the shop, waiting to be taken apart!

H&R and Motul custom set up for this car.
This was indeed an amazing piece of suspension artwork. Moton parts are VERY expensive, even when they aren't custom 1-off pieces.

Custom wheels made exclusively for AJ's car for the Stop-Tech's.
This was a close one. There were originally supposed to be carbon fiber wheels for this car, but it turned out the "manufacturer" was running a scam operation and there never was anything real. He managed to fool a couple of hot rod magazines and more than a few people are out some serious money. At the last minute, Wheel Concepts came to the rescue. I was in Texas with AJ a few weeks before SEMA when I asked the seeminly innocent question, "Has Wheel concepts taken the brakes into consideration?" A few panicked phone calls later, a set of engineering drawings were being emailed to them and the initial set was pulled off the machine and slightly redesigned. That was close! There wasn't time for a second try at those wheels.

The only one in the world with a custom one-off Hogan manifold.
And Tim, at CIMTEX Rods, spent hours polishing this complex piece. It didn't look this good when first delivered.

The first GSM Supercharged SRT.
Here's where this forum deserves most of the credit. I noticed some folks discussing this option in a thread about GS Motorsports supercharging the 5.7 liter 300C and I called AJ immediately and put him in touch with Scott. If it wasn't for this forum, this car would not have been supercharged.

I spoke with AJ a few weeks ago, he is a great guy. Loves, loves, loves cars. Has a true passion about them. His Lingenfelter Impala SS was just as equally bad as his 300SRT. No ones Impala SS could touch it. In looks, power, etc. Just as he has created with this 300SRT masterpiece.
I noticed you're using the past tense when talking about AJ's Lingenfelter Impala SS. Are you aware it was stolen from a hotel parking lot in California a few weeks ago? AJ is heartbroken about the missing SS, since he poured as much, if not more, energy and creativity into that car. That SS is how I met AJ. It was for sale in PA and he was in Las Vegas and wanted someone who knew Impalas to check it out for him. I made all the arrangements and we became good friends in the process. It's dreadful that someone could just come along with a tow truck and steal that work of art in the blink of an eye, while a train was passing behind the hotel. Apparently, the thieves have this down to a science.
AJ is never letting the SRT8 project car out of his sight!

Yes Dave I am talking about it past tense because you did tell me about his Impala SS being stolen from the hotel where he had it for a show. I am still heart broken about that one. Being an ex Impala owner and how rare the Lingenfelter editions were.

That's terrible. How much was invested in it? This sounds like something from a movie. What hotel?

Since the hotel is being sued (they had a long history of this and no security cameras!), I don't think I should post the name. To top it all off, I can't remember the name.
AJ had a lot invested in the Impala, as did the previous owner. So it wasn't as bad a hit as if AJ had bought the car new (like the SRT8) and built it up from scratch. That being said, he had a ton of money into it. I don't know exact amounts and it probably woudn't be my place to post it if I did. Bottom line, it's a real shame. Makes me think I should put LoJack in my SRT8.
