Equipment

413 400hp, cross ram dual quad, 4 speed, P W. NASCAR flying mile record holder at 144.978 mph driven by Greg Ziegler. Mostly original, with some paintwork. 11,284 miles. Good chrome and interior. Comes with its original wheels and special Goodyear record tires as well as a bundle of historic materials, Chrysler correspondence and even the original Rupert Parachute seat belt. A particularly neat, historic and rare car.

Market commentary

Mecum Auctions tried to sell this car at Monterey last August, reporting a high bid of $275,000 for it. With this result in Atlantic City the seller should perhaps get the hint that the estimate range is a pipe dream. It is a wonderful car, but it has to be placed in the context of others. Reality apparently hasnt intruded yet, as it immediately went on eBay where the auction ended at $298,211.99 without reaching reserve.
