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!
