I know that car, as it spent most of its life in Tulsa, owned by a friend of mine. What is unique about it is this: it is original, with no damage history and low miles. If you wanted to know what a new GT was like back in the day, this is the closest you'd ever get. All of the other GT's have been raced hard and put away wet. Many have been restored to quite high standards but an original car is always more interesting to most collectors. This one was for the most part unkown to most people in the Porsche world until Howard decided to sell it. It was driven sparingly, for fun, and kept in a nice climate-controlled storage. Until Bill Noon bought it, I doubt it had ever been driven in the rain.
The stock market may be down but there are still a bunch of wealthy people in the world. This car might end up going to Europe, given that cars bought here are still a bit of a bargain to those guys.
For those of you nit-picking the presentation, there are quite a few pictures of the car out there on the net, if you know where to look. I'd wager that the pool of serious buyers for the car know quite a bit about it now. When it surfaced in the Porsche world, there was a fair amount of talk about it, as it was almost like a barn find. Here's a good place to start:
