Red and I did an in-car rebuild of the engine as well as installing a made-to-order air conditioning. This may have been the only 300SL to be air conditioned. Foy Barrett did a total body job with a candy apple red paint job. Red and I took it for a shake-down run going through Plano at 142 mph, with Red driving. Jim kept that car until several years ago and sold it for a nice sum.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmpro_content_message\">This content is for Premium Subscriber members only.<br \/><a href=\"\/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fvelocetoday.com%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F151586\">Login<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/velocetoday.com\/subscription-account\/subscription-checkout\/?level=1\">Subscribe<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As told by Frank Lance to Willem Oosthoek All photos by Bob Jackson [Willem Oosthoek Collection], unless stated otherwise.
