A great car but why would you advertise something like that on Bring a Trailer?

How about Barrett-Jackson's instead?

It's not a '72 Pro Mod C10 with a blown 350 that's why.

BJ ? LOL.
Only for muscle cars and crying charity auctions

Gooding & Co. or RM
And BAT Premium is a better choice than BJ

I recently finished up all the cadmium and zinc plating for the 906 named El Tigre being shown at Pebble Beach a week+ from now. Very cool cars. Wish I could have gone out to see it.

Why not get this one while you're at it - a nice pair of bookends

I’d call that listing a $100 market price check

Gooding or Sotheby’s would be my choice for selling that one.

Really interesting car.

I did notice there were a lot of “it’s is said” and “purported” and “originally equipped with” in the description. Well written but this one seems to have a pretty cloudy history based on all the caveats.

I know nothing about cars in this price range, maybe that doesn’t matter….

Surprised to see some of the "no sales" on the recent BaT auction. Would have thought $500k+ would have been enough to take home one of the ex-Falken race cars.

Im sure its just me but if I were buying a car like that I would want it to be original unrestored and show its age ect. Being perfectly restored like that it may as well be a replica and a fraction of the price. I know its not really a possibility with a basket case I guess you take what you can get when trying to buy a real 906
