Incredible. How big is the model? I can't tell by the photos, but for that kind of detail it must be fairly good-size.
Incidentally, as far as what 1075 is worth; I've heard all sorts of things but given its' history my hunch is that IF it were to change hands (and it probably wouldn't be on eBay) my guess is that it would be eight to ten million USD. But that's just my guess.
The bargain, if you want to call it that, is 1040, which is around this area and has been intermittently for sale. It is all taken apart and needs a complete restoration, but notwithstanding it having had "its' share of low moments" it is a genuine competition car which ran well for most of 24 hrs at LM and might have written a bit of history itself had it not skidded and crashed. It is a shame it has never gotten the full restoration it deserves. It may still have the original engine and transaxle, although who knows... [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
