Wow, big money. Shocked that the GT40 went for $7million. Thought it would have some racing history.
I went to Barrett Jackson last year and was amazed at the prices for restomodded cars. The pandemic seemed like it beat down prices but its a stronger market than ever now.

The 1st L88 looked like it might have been a bargain compared to some of the others. 
The gt40 details:
The gt40 details:
- 1 of 10 factory competition lightweights produced, which includes the famed Gulf Team cars
- The most sophisticated and winningest MkI specification example with its factory Gurney Weslake engine
- Original body and chassis
- Rebuilt original 289/440 HP Gurney Weslake engine
- Rebuilt original ZF 5-speed manual transaxle
- Restored to original 1969 factory specification
- Original date-coded Firestone race tires
- Authenticated by GT40 expert Ronnie Spain
If that GT 40 sold for $7mil, that car has to be 2X that, easy.

Yeah, especially considering the $$ spent on the video. Double celebrity car, McQueen and Sienfeld. Plus, movie car with race history.
