Interesting. Would make a great match for his 1963 Marauder race car which is out there in a collection somewhere. Don't know what the reserve is, but I'll bet it doesn't make it. There are some issues with the description. Says it's a factory 4-speed car, it is not (code 4 is an automatic). Says original spare tire. Not only is it not the original spare (radial), it's not the original wheel.

I'll bet $15,800 is a long way from where they wanted it.
