Market commentary
Its sister car, 0598 CM, won just about everything it entered in the US from 56 58 for John Edgar and is in long term ownership in Switzerland. Faster than a TR; faster and prettier than a 375 Plus. A Big Hammer in the right hands but also good handling and ample power. Over $4 million would not have been a surprise. Bought by last years RM Monterey buyer of the Cobra Daytona Coupe, Larry Bowman, who also bought the 68 Corvette Le Mans at Christies. Sold 11 2005 to Brian Ross, Cortland, OH for $4.5 million through David Gooding.
