I don’t know. I think we can point to both Lane and Ed’s experience with BaT as to the fickleness of the auction crowd. IMO, those are “pristine, nut and bolt restoration” or “90pt completely original numbers matching” Speedster numbers. I don’t think the average “money is no object” collector type is going to be interested in a race car. Sure, had it been raced in period by Stirling Moss in the Mille or PanAmerica, but not some SCCA racer from the 70’s.
I think a more realistic number would have been 175-200,000. At least from what I’ve seen over the last few years.
