PS: It wasn't me. I'd never pay that much for a race car that never raced even if there were only 6 frames ever made.

Wasn't me either. I'm waiting for a nicer one.

Not me... wrong color!

Wayne has been rather quiet lately.

I've seen this particular car in person... The photos don't do it justice.

It is rumored that Seinfeld bought it.

I was signed up for the Porsche driving experience that day and got to see the Brumos private collection, but I really regret not seeing the Drendel collection at the Gooding auction. I overheard rumors that Seinfeld bought several cars from that collection.
He had a stunning 908/03 in the concours. Honoree, Vic Elford, drove it out on the lawn as his introduction.

As a kid I watched Mark Donohue at the Mosport Can-Am racing his 917/30. My brother took me to the Can-Am specificity to watch Donohue and his "Can-Am killer". It was freaking fast, lapping other cars like they were almost standing still. I still remember everyone in the stands and around the track were in total awe of him and this car.

I'm with you; Penske cars always looked like they've been thrashed hard and put away wet.

[rusnak]

I bought it.

Oh. You mean the real one. Right.

That 1955 550 was a hot sale too... over $3.2 mil.

“It’s like a Learjet on takeoff. It feels like it’s never running out of power and it feels like that in every gear. It feels like you’re being pushed by the hand of God. One time I floored it in second gear and the front wheels came off the ground!
I got it out on a 15,000-foot runway and went to 8,000 rpm in high gear. I figure that was over 200 miles an hour, way over. My hands are starting to sweat just thinking of it.”
