Talked with the guy who bought the 300K 3W coupe, said he was not going home without it. He was happy, knew exactly what he was buying. All the speed equipment was authentic, modifications, construction, finish all perfection, could not be duplicated today for that price.

On the other end of the spectrum, the low sn chassis, had to persuade bidders up to 16.5 What's the future for an aged museum piece, build a restored car when the value of restored cars is flat or down? 16.5 as the foundation for a hot rod? what are you going to use, the grill shell?

Also talked to the guy (agent) who bought both the phaeton and the original roadster. He was very pleased. Laser focused on originality.
