Equipment
Long runner dual quad cross-ram engine, Pont-A-Mousson 4-speed, 2.93:1 rear axle, pushbutton radio, wheel covers, whitewall tires, swivel front seats, power windows, original Daytona tires included (but not mounted). Extensively documented.
Condition
One of six built with 413 cubic inch 400 hp engine and four-speed manual. All original with 11,311 miles from new, in long term storage until being completely mechanically checked in 2009. Documented ownership from its racing days to the present.
Market commentary
Offered at Mecum's Monterey auction in 2010 with a high bid of $275,000, then by Worldwide in Atlantic City with a slightly lower bid of $240,000. Finally found a new owner here at an even lower high bid. Its odometer shows just nineteen more miles since it was offered at Monterey. An historic automobile that begs to be displayed at concours and preservation events as well as anywhere really fast, successful cars are celebrated, or maybe driven to the amazement of owners of present-day high performance cars. Its history and preservation alone are worth this price.
