Market commentary
Offered in 2000 at Bonhams Quail in comparable condition where it attracted a bid of just $120,000. Reported sold at RM Monterey in 2004 for $90,200 albeit with a single 4 barrel (easier to tune but not nearly as cool to gaze upon). If there was money anywhere on the Monterey Peninsula anywhere close to this reported high bid this customer M6B should have been been heading to a new home faster than Bruce and Denny leaving the Bridgehampton starting line. Sign on the door said This car is only for the guy with very Big Gonads! In this case that imprecation is probably more apt for a bidders willingness to step up for an unreasonable price than for exercising the car.
