In August, Mecum's Monterey auction will have a 1960 Maserati Tipo 61/60 Birdcage built for Briggs Cunningham. It's more re-creation than restoration, by Britain's Steve Hart (classic Maserati and Ferrari restorer). A Birdcage made from two cars sold for $3.3m at last year's RM Monte Carlo auction, but this re-creation should only be $700,000+.
An amazing design, but I wouldn't like to rebuild one unless my welding speed/skills improved markedly.
