Porsche 904GTS barn find in 2006

[HistoryBuff]

I ran across this picture on the net, from 2006 on the website of Sports Car Market, accompanied by a letter written by a foreign man (letter below). He doesn't say how the car was found or what it sold for, I was wondering if nay 904 buffs can tell us more...

Have you checked info in the Barth/Albinet book?

Very cool. In 2006, I would be guessing about $350-$500K depending upon the overall condition. They weren't super-duper expensive (just plain vanilla expensive) back then.
