significant race cars have value
but the guy is not a good salesman
to get that kind of money the add could be much better
for example "3 recent log books" does not authenticate significant and true brumos history.

this car could of been built 5 years ago
mine was, and has the same log books.

focusing on the big money is great, but providing documentation of that facts would probably push this car into that league. I like it... but I know there were about 15 of them built and painted just like that. some in the last 5-10 years. If brumos builds the sister car to this tomorrow, then it becomes a great antiquated race car, but not a historically significant vintage race car.

p.s. did they really use fiberglass fenders in 1972?, I would of assumed they used metal since factory metal kits were flowing through the dealerships at that time

I found one that did use fiberglass flares...but it was only 30 years ago that the flares were installed, and its a the real deal.

We suspected that the metal flares were removed and fiberglass was added for weight savings at that time...not sure really. It was a real race car...but no docs on some of the mods...they were just there to see.

the guy who bought it (I should have, but passed) rebuilt the car as original.
It was one of the luftanza 914/6 original cars....sitting in a barn up here for 30 years....no motor when I saw it, just the tub.

I think they sold that car for 250k...the build was covered online and in a few mags..
