I was always under the impression this car was an IMSA racer, no mention in the auction of its original race series or results? IMO a car like this needs history and provenance to bring top dollar, without that, it's just a track toy.... but agreed, even as that it was still under valued by the market.

This magnificent car just rolled over and died on Bring a Trailer:

The high bid was probably less than a third of what it’s worth. But it might be tough to find a deep pockets buyer willing to take it on….
