Then sold to the U.S. where it ended up in 1980 being raced by Monte Shelton in historic events. Sold to Peter Kaus in 1984 in as raced condition and static displayed since. Right door cracked, wheels badly corroded, engine cover paint peeling in sheets. Tired and neglected. Not run in years and not started at the auction. Peter Kaus Rosso et Bianco Collection.
Market commentary
Monte Shelton made a valiant effort to re acquire his 917 10 Spyder but stopped at $470,000. The eventual buyer was a well known Southern California collector. After sitting for years getting it on the race track will be time consuming and expensive, but ultimately a rewarding prospect for both the driver and the spectators.
