Re: [Chrysler300] 300F for sale on BaT

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 Trailer https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-chrysler-300f-2/ - 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!
