    This is an interesting point. Smedley is known to be an exacting perfectionist on details and correctness (that's my take from his online persona, I don't know him personally).
    He built a hot rod.
    What are the chances the buyer of that car had to sort anything out, that final 10% in question on the car in this thread? Most likely zero.

    So turn key, no stories is a 30-40% premium over this car, for sake of argument.

    Nothing has really changed, other than the market is now truly differentiating #1 thru #3-4 cars.

    +1. The buying frenzy of any POS for stupid money is over. Good cars still command good prices.

    Yes, the best cars still command large pricing. I wouldn’t sell my 67S for twice that price.

    And just to remind everyone of an amazing 67S that sold a few months ago for over $912k! It had rally and sport kit options, and was an amazing preservation class car.

    Special cars like werks race cars would be beyond that but not relevant.

    Saw it briefly. The car had 3 different shades of silver and it looked like it was tapped on the rear. I think both front fenders were also painted at different intervals. The interior was beautiful. Miles indicated seem believable but 'unrestored' is a bit much sales talk for me with all the work done. Side note - i did not go over the car with a paint meter.

    That $925K 67S was bought new by Dr. Jack ( Blackjack) Sullivan from Central NY where I live. He also had a Spyder and a 52 America roadster. With the small nr. of America roadsters built Im reasonably sure his ended up at my friends garage in Rochester and then turned upside down and used as a dog house, yessir. I managed to find the baffled gas tank, it was said to have been a factory hillclimb car.
