Re: [Chrysler300] 1960 300F Special 400 HP

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At the figure this one is likely to fetch after all the promotion, I 
would think the buyer ought to have perfect assurance that this very car 
is one Gregg Ziegler drove for that momentous record..  What if this one 
crosses the block at some huge number, and it later turns out to be 
identical to, but not the actual, black 300F that set the record 
shattering mile at 144.927. I don't see on this website the actual 
provenance - the chain of ownership demonstrating this is the very one. 
I'm not saying I have any reason to distrust or doubt it, but it really 
needs to be ascertained lest a new owner find himself sadly surprised.

One detail in this regard that caught my eye on the Russo & Steele site 
was the the affidavit said to be signed by Gregg Ziegler. Why does it 
bear the signature date of 11/9/08 when the printout of the affidavit is 
10/02/08 (and even over-printed on 9/17/08)/ A skeptic might wonder if 
perhaps the current owner may have sent the filled out form to Mr. 
Ziegler on 10/02/08, and that Mr. Ziegler then signed and returned it a 
month or so later to the current owner without actually knowing whether 
this was the serial number of the car he drove. Was it perhaps a 
different black 300F Special - one of the other eight that were built?  
Did this one actually make the trip to Daytona? Was it one that ran 
there but didn't win?

Everything's probably just fine here, but I'd rather be careful ahead 
than sorry later. Burt or Gil, is the provenance of 300F #8403110398 
known for certain?
