After reading the glowing and extensively detailed description offered by the seller, and looking at all the pictures (admittedly through my eyes completely untrained and unqualified in evaluating this particular car), all I can say is WOW! -- We in the Club are SO FORTUNATE to have such detail-oriented experts as have commented on even the tiniest discrepancies on this car! You guys are AMAZING! And being called anal-retentive is considered a compliment - hope you take it that way! Someday soon I hope to bring my own 300C (four-year restoration) at one of the Club meetings, where it can be inspected and evaluated by experts on my particular car -- and I really want to take every criticism as a positive comment; I prefer to call them "Opportunities for Improvement!"

It’s a G coupe. Mardi Gras red is a color change from original white. Looks to be driver quality in the photos. It has been on ebay recently.

​Bring A Trailer has a Mardi Gras a/c coupe selling in three hours. Looks good enough for somebody to consider. High bid was but 29.5 a few minutes ago. Might be a bargain​.
