Equipment
Grey painted Borrani wire wheels, Michelin Pilote X tires, SNAP exhaust tips, Marchal headlights and grille-mounted fog lights, cold air box, no front bumper, hood-mounted clear bug deflector.
Condition
NART entry at Le Mans 1960 driven by Ed Hugus and Augie Pabst, 4th in class, 7th overall. Restored by GTO Engineering in 2005. Sharp, clean, orderly historic race car now prepared for road use. The original engine sounds great and strong through its SNAP extractors. Dull aluminum bumpers, dented rear bumper.
Market commentary
Bid to $13,500,000 on the block and closed later at this negotiated price. Had the seller accepted the original bid, or even the one before it, the price would have been considerably higher after commissions, and the seller would have avoided a haircut. An opportunity missed for the seller but a chance of a serious bidder to make an advantageous off-the-block deal.
