I checked out pictures on the C-300. From his description of the car, I thought that I would be seeing the 2nd coming. What I see is an engine compartment that looks marginal at best, with an incorrect battery, and all is quite dirty. Chrome and stainless do not look to snuff for a 1000 pointer. How do you rebuild stock wire wheels and get incorrect centers hubs. What was retained(the outer rims?). Car has an old set of super wide whitewall tires and incorrect exhaust tips. What else is not right or done well is impossible to determine from these snap shots. I would suggest that anyone bidding on any of these cars have an in person inspection before doing so. The hype of the description certainly does not reflect what I can see in the pictures.
