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. ??

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!
