Be interesting to know how much was purchase and how much was resto.

And I have to agree on the trunk seams. Don't get that at all. Isn't the picture in race trim enough of a tribute to its history? Maybe they ran out of money and couldn't afford a new trunk pan. Perhaps the budget was very &quot;strict&quot; at $250k. I can hear it now: &quot;No, not another dime&quot;. </div></div>

Good comments. The preference on the restoration and the detail was driven by the way the hobby seeks to expose fakes, rebody cars and clones.

The owner has no financial constraints when it came to the restoration. &quot;The car as restored pays tribute to its Bushmaster race car heritage&quot;, that is a direct quote from him because I too asked essentially the same kind of question.

He is planning a Major car show/auto museum tour with the car in the not too distant future just to let people see it.
