Mine went to Otis Chandler, and then Rene's purple car went to Otis, too, IIRC for way more than $35K. I think more like $100K. Each successive sale would double the previous one because Otis at the time was paying whatever anyone was asking for the most rare musclecars with bulletproof provenance. He was a bazillonaire and was establishing his personal museum of "Transportation and Wildlife" to show his car collection and hunting trophies.
