1052 went for almost 7 million all in , I expect this one will be nearly the same.

1067 (The Salt Walther car) was also finished in Opalescent Silver Blue and both were road cars.

V. nice car - well written continuous history - but then so has George Washington's axe!
1067 was blue, but owned by Salt Walter's dad, George. Salt Walter had 1005- Filipinetti car, ex Robin Darlington etc, which was burnt out in his garage. Later 'rebuild' appeared in Leo Voyazides hands and did well in racing.

The auction is over. 1069 is listed on the Available Lots page, however on the car's auction page it's listed as sold. Did anyone watch the auction? I'm curious what the high bid was and did it sell at the auction? Or possibly it sold privately.

SOLD at a hammer price of $4.0 million USD plus buyer's premium

It still had race car plumbing which may have hurt the price. But I am told still a better car than Shaunessey’ s that went at Kissimmee.
