I guess I missed the comments in this thread that would be insulting to the owner of 2601, but I assure you he knew what he was getting into and could care less what we have to say here. Long before the auction weekend arrived, people were throwing around a $10 million/ "Eight" figure number, with absolutely no basis. But if you owned this car and wanted to sell it for a premium, what better way to do it than at one of these Barnum & Bailey auctions. This was a win-win for the owner and Dana Mecum. Mecum paid to have the car transported to the auction and likely handled all the travel expenses for the owner. to come to town. The owner then took a chance to sell his car for a stupid price, and Dana Mecum used the car to draw people to his auction. The owner didn't get lucky enough to lure a $10 million buyer, but Dana Mecum milked it for all it was worth.
I sorta figured some anonymous phone buyer would buy it and then it would show up in Mr. Leno's Garage in 60 days.
