Have y’all ever seen one sell for that much before? Excluding the Super Snake of course.


Yes, 1552 sold for over $400K back in 2006 at BJ Scottsdale.

I saw the speed air GT500 go through and did sell at 160K price I think. That is not including the juice. The owner thought it was a show car he couldn't drive but after looking at it I thought it was a top of the line driver quality car. It still looked very nice and above the quality of the vast majority. It was maybe at the Bronze threshold in DIV II  or Trailer concours as a comparison . I  thought it was a 180 K car given it's rarity and good color combo.

^^^67-1183 Thanks!

All three did well.

Regarding #3206 (White GT500) there's a story that when it when to Mid-America for a "Pre SAAC test judging" it was in the hotel lobby with some other cars, some one going through the lobby at about 3 am saw 3 guys under the car up to their waist giving it the once over.
