Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Johnny Rutherfords 74 Indy winner. 2 1 2 liter turbo Offy. In race winning condition; long displayed and unlikely to be running. Probably not the Indy winning Offy motor, either. Pat Ryan Collection.

Market commentary

Nice car, but non running. Probably worth $200K. This bid is a product of communication between Dermot Chichester (Christies auctioneer) and the chandelier in the tents vestibule. No one in the auction tent cared, except to see it passed so the sale could get on with cars that were really for sale at reasonable reserves.
