Having seen the car in person and having spent some time talking with Chris during construction, I can tell you that I expected it to do better. I guess it being unique and "different" hurt it in that setting. If it were a fiberglass bodied '32 Ford with an LS motor on a Rod Shop chassis, it would have brought two or three times what it brought.
It is a really beautiful build, with no corners cut anywhere. If I had any idea it would sell in that price range I would have seriously considered buying. I hope the new owner appreciates it for what it is.
