Sold for $187k all in. That was a strong price. The VW motor needs to get swapped for a 356 motor.

[QUOTE=JMS935;10562531]So maybe the “reportedly built for Mario Andretti” is the one time the name dropping doesn’t help, as he never took delivery of the car from what Mecum was saying prior to the auction.

Good for Dana to keep it real even thou the consignor or someone mentioned it reportedly was built for him. Also on the RS lightweight, no hyped non existing bidding after the $200K bid.

I wonder what they pay for these DP cars? They seem to stay in inventory for a long time. How can anyone run a business and make money that way? I rather sell regular cars and turn them over frequently than the specialty brand of cars that sit and collect dust from non sales. Maybe an expert can chime in?

I’m guessing these are part of an owner/partners personal collection that also happens to be a used car dealer

No expert, but I've been following these cars since '05. I had a few listed on my site for sale over the years. A few years back a few dealers started snapping them (DP & Kremer) up and sitting on them. The black Kremer K2 that was on BAT was listed on my site a few years back. Since then I haven't had any new listings, but still get emails looking to purchase. The prices have almost doubled in the last couple of years, and they don't come up for sale nearly as much as they use to.
