The story:

 

NASCAR'S All Time " Flying Mile " Record Holder  144.927 MPH {class 7}

 

One of six 1960 300 F Specials built by Chrysler to compete at Daytona in
the the Flying Mile,

on the beach and in the sand.

 

Six 300 F's were taken off the assembly line. A special team of Chryslers
top Engineers were assembled.

In a secret and separate location they were reworked to compete in the
Flying Mile.

 

They started with the engine. Installing solid lifters, special piston
rings, high-lift camshaft and factory headers.

Very special short ram manifolds were cast.  A Pont-A-Mousson 4 speed gear
box was installed.

The rear axle ratio was changed to 2.93 for top end performance

The cars were drastically underrated at 400 HP. {probably 475 hp}

 

Time to go racing...Good job those Chrysler Engineers did !

 

All six Specials show up on the beach that day. Bill France NASCAR founder
is the flag man that day.

They place one through six. One of the most comprehensive victories by a
single marque in the history

of recorded motor-sports.

 

This car was the winner with Daytona Super Star Greg Ziegler behind the
wheel.

 

AND its a original 11,000 mile unrestored car. With the original spare in
the trunk. Seen a hand full of times since Gregg brought it back from
Daytona in 1960. Its has the original paint and is probably one

of the most historic survivor-race cars in the world. This car is completely
serviced and runs

as good as it looks. Looks like a 3 year old car.

 

It sits on the original Good Year Blue Streek racing tires that it won with
on the beach ! ! !

in 1960, Gregg's original NASCAR approved seat belts and a huge archive of
documentation.

 

One of the biggest Chrysler collectible cars in the world !!!

A fabulous addition to any museum or collection.     Joliet IL  area
