Equipment
255 Offy, Meyer Drake 2 speed trans, Hilborn injection, Joe Hunt magneto, torsion bar suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes. A.J. Foyts national championship dirt car prepared by George Bignotti. Restored by Vic Yerardi to very high standards. Show car restoration, brilliant chrome, shiny paint. 1988 AACA Senior winner. Racecar number 026. Other than a little oil residue on the engine to prove that it actually runs it is beyond perfect. There are a few nice touches that demonstrate that its a race car, like the duct tape padding on the hood. Tasty and very significant. No Reserve.
Market commentary
This was a brilliant display of bidding by the buyer, who responded to each bump instantly with just a nod of his head then flipped through his catalog in complete disinterest. He remained invisible to the competing bidder just six chairs away. That said, the successful bidder doesnt have much beside winning to celebrate. This is a jaw dropping price.
