What's an aluminum-bodied, dimensionally accurate FIA homologated pushrod-powered Spyder replica worth? Stay tuned.

I don't know certainly. But I do like the color!
How awesome would It have been to just scotch-brite the body and cleared it? Anyone who has ever wheeled any metal knows how much work that takes.
With a few days left it's around $50k
IMHO these are spectacular, but second-best to the Spyder Factory cars, which have an accurate clam reinforcement bit and front firewall/bulkhead, along with the more advanced "high rail" chassis as seen in the Werks cars and later builds like 0090. My guess is plus or minus $200k. I believe it would be about $300-350k to duplicate and probably a year wait.
But on BaT you never know.
I'm guessing somewhere between 100 and 200K. It's definitely a COOL car.
I'd like a 550a alloy replica though, the chassis is lots of little steel tubes, super light, and STIFF. Don't even look at the body, it's thinner than a 550, more attachment points. All-up 1100 pounds.....imagine with my motor in it how quick it would be?

There are 8 days left. It took $275K +/- to build. I have no idea what an aluminum bodied, period correct, FIA legal replica is worth... but we're all about to find out.

That sure looks like the one they were showing at Monterey in August, 2017 - right down to the placement of the grill badge. That would jibe with the timeline in the description on BaT.
Ed, I posted some photos of it on your build thread back then, here.
It wasn't real, but it was spectacular.

OK this is cheeky as hell I know, but, point-by-point:
Amazing comparison.
Ed, you did such a great job on that build. 
So, is the wrench mightier than the pen?
Wow! Nicely told story, Ed, and as always, beautiful work on the Spyder.
$102k with an hour to go in the auction. I doubt he'll let it go for less than $180k.
RNM at $160. Danny was spot-on.
