If you watched the entire show you will hear them say the "purists" will disagree with what they did. Frankly I'm glad they did it. This was a "storied" car and while the seller said it had a clear title, it was probably not an insurance claim since the frame damage clearly would have been caught by an adjuster and made it salvage. That said, unlike the F40, this car will forever carry with it the alert that "something made it be changed into this" and noone will ever think they have anything other than what it is - a rebuilt wreck.
The F40 was bought at Barrett Jackson by Reggie Jackson (who was not present, either internet or phone bidding) and he sold it at the next auction.
