Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Enthusiastically and artistically sponsored by Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, painted by Peter Max, raced carefully. Now restored to high cosmetic standards and historic race ready with 510 cu.in. Lucas fuel injected Chevy. Two bodies were presented, the origil Peter Max painted body and a similar star pattern body for serious racin without worrying about messing up the origil. Apparently, however, only the origil body was offered for sale.

Market commentary

This bid is about $140,000 for the car and $100,000 for the Peter Max paintjob. The confusion over which body was for sale, and which was origil, didnt help matters much; maybe the car belonged in the AFAS tent on the Concours lawn
