I find it hard to believe the car got that many bids. Home made bodies like this can be admired for individual craftsmanship, but are they worth that kind of money? Does anyone remember the gentleman in Rensselaer, NY that made "12 cylinder Auburns" out of older Packards? He also made many 12 cylinder Packards out of Super 8's. Many years later these cars were passed off as custom bodied cars when they were home-made. The ill informed person has to be very careful when buying these cars.
