Equipment
289 with four Webers, 4-speed, factory Stage III Dragonsnake, American Racing magnesium wheels with Racemaster drag slicks, Stewart Warner gauges, driver's paperclip roll bar.
Condition
An older restoration reportedly using numerous NOS parts for Steven Juliano. The paint presents well overall with only one crack noted by the lower driver door jamb. The engine compartment presents very well and the underbody is very well restored and clean. The interior presents well with some light wear noted on the driver seat. Featured in the 2012 Monterey Motorsports Reunion, well known history from new, 2009 SAAC Division 1 Premiere award. Owners include Peter Klutt, Chris Cox, Richard Scaife, Harry Yeaggy and Rich Mason. An old restoration by Steven Juliano that has held up extremely well.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Arizona in 2001 for $209,000 (to Harry Yeaggy), offered from the Juliano collection after further restoration at Mecum Indy in 2019 where it was bid to $1.4 million, then reported sold at Mecum Kissimmee this year for $1,250,000 hammer, $1,375,000 all-in. It would appear there wasn't enough profit in this high bid to cover the ownership, entry fee and seller's commission and so it goes on looking for someone who wants a Stage III Dragonsnake restored to concours quality standards but starting to age.
