No real evidence presented to back the seller's inference, but looks fairly decent.
Obviously missing some trim.
I wouldn't think an auto car would be a backup racecar, but it could have been owned by a racer - no info, though.

I almost bought one of these 2 years ago. For a lot less this this one

And IMO This car would have to be DAMMMMMMM nice to pull the asking money

IMO 35 K will get you a very nice car of the 55-56 300 models


Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date

Agree - at the least, some documentation on the claim of (almost-racing) provenance.
Kiekhaefer was of course the most notable of the C300 & 300B teams, but there would be others.
Then, this one looks to be missing some parts, and is - at least currently - from an area known for rust.
