Just to be clear, at the end of the show, post auction, the message on the screen stated that the car sold two days later. The seller and show host sat down before the auction and the owner seemed adamant about not taking a bid below $1.3MM I think. He said no way to $1.1-$1.2MM. Something must have changed his mind.
Just curious, and I'm no historian by any stretch, but did only a few comp cars have the dry sump oil system? 3034 did not, but it was converted to an S/C for sale. Love those magnesium wheels! I want some! |

Only a few Comp cars had dry sump.
This car was never "converted to an S/C" if thats what they said... it was born an S/C.
And I don't think those wheels are the original set. |

I enjoy the show but my expectation is that it is more focused on the chase rather than the mechanics. For more of a build view I watch shows like Gearz, Muscle Car, Chop Cut Rebuild, horse power, wheeler dealers, two guys garage, etc. Jesus I need a life!

My understanding is that there were exactly three original 427 comp cars with the dry-sump oil system, including CSX3020 which was featured on My Classic Car.

A few more than that...
Off the top of my head, 3002, 3004, 3011, 3013, 3016, 3019, 3020.

If one were to read the registry carefully, they would note that Mike Shoen said he bought the car in '68 with some 17,000 miles already on the odometer. When it appeared years later with just 14,000 showing, there were some questions to follow. Hey, you don't suppose this is what was meant by a Smiths reversing speedometer, do you?
