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.

Julian, No, this was never anything but a toy. There was another guy who built a Pantera race car and ran it in IMSA. John Storey I think? Mike Sent from my iPhone
