And you were bidding on the car why? So you could turn around and try and
sell it for a higher price?

Al, I’m sorry. I was trying to be funny and it fell
flat.
Im a big fan of BaT but have found letter series cars seem to fall short on
that site. A side note, that web sight owner has a gorgeous red 55 300 and is a
fan of letter cars too.
Good luck with the sale. It’s a beautiful car!

Gentlemen,
That was my car at the auction. I can assure you that the steering wheel
was not on upside down -- the front wheels were turned. The pictures
were taken on different days. I never suspected that the position of the
steering wheel would such a point of interest.

I stopped at 40k for just that reason. I figured 10k to turn
the car upside down so the steering wheel appears correct......

There are several pictures of exterior all with wheels turned - some
slightly turned in either direction, others significantly turned maybe
at extreme of range - not sure how one can judge whether steering wheel
is correct or not without seeing wheel position at same time as steering
wheel.
What is number of turns lock to lock - most cars in that vintage were
about 3 turns as I recall - so 1.5 turns either way from center.
Half a turn for partly turned wheels or 1.5 turn at extreme would
seem more or less correct - though why seller would take picture of
steering wheel in upside down orientation with wheels turned seems to
beg the question.

It is upside down and I???m the one who made the comment. The
seller tried to cover it by saying the wheels were turned. The wheels
were not turned. You can see it in several shots. ??

There's a nice looking white 300F HT for sale on Bring a

???? - does anyone recognize the serial number? ?? ???? 8403125676
?? The Club Roster indicates it might be Al Vannice, and the
seller's address also matches his in Boalsberg, PA.???? It's
always interesting to read the comments from the tire-kickers??and
ultra nit-picky critics (usually NOT actual bidders!) that
permeate this BaT auction site regardless of what is offered,
including those who think this car should have "Kelsey-Hayes
chrome wire wheels", or "the steering wheel is on upside-down"
(NOT!), or grouse about all the things it needs to be "100%
concours", although there are indeed several well-informed,
considerate and savvy comments and factoids currently posted about
the car.???? There is still a lot of nostalgia out there for these
cars, with many stories of previous encounters and lost
opportunities to be regretted decades later, but they don't appear
to be actual bidders.?? As an owner of a '57 300C convertible (my
late father's car dating from 1969, now finally meticulously
re-restored), I am painfully aware of the costs of restoration
(I'm probably upside down!), and am somewhat concerned at the
apparent slide in prices for these special letter cars over the
last year or more, although I recognize that owning these cars is
more about the history and emotion than the money.?? It's
currently bid to only ~ $32K, and I bet he spent that much
(probably WAY more!) on its previous restoration and rebuild ~ 18
years ago, so I hope it goes for more than double that in the next
three days - I'm sure the seller would agree!
