When Carlo Chiti was employed by Alfa Romeo racing department in July 1953, his first task was to test disk brakes on the 6C3000, , but it was not implement Ted, to the Merano race, as they cold not keep the brake fluid from boiling. So the one that is a the museum with disc brakes, can be the one that was used to test.
After the victory at Merano, Alfa Romeos closed down the experimental department( racing department) and concentrated on supporting privateers in 1900 and Giulietta.
In Sweden was a young man Joachim Bonnier he owned the firm that had the representation in Sweden for Alfa Romeo, and participated in the Swedish championship in a 1900.
After the victory at Merano, he vas able to rent or just for loan a 6C3000 spider ,probably the Merano winning car, and used in the beginning in ice razing, raze on frozen lakes during winter time.
Later he competed in international sports car razing with the spider before he entered in formel 1 late 50.
He had probably a accident because Zagato did some repair or modifications on the car around 57, the picture shoves slightly diff front and picture is from Joe Benson Buyers guide app 1983.
I think it is this car that is in America
According to Fusi there was build 2 spiders and 4 coupe.
2 coupe was used to build
one for Boano 6C3500 coupe to President Peron in Argentina, witch later was converted back by, and is the one that Phil Hill is driving.
The other was used for PininFarina 6C3500 Superflow in 56/57
