besides being the "highest octane known to exist" made ;-) I got a kick out of the "original sheet metal" too.

Doesn't the seller have any idea what went into making that car so perfect?

I'd think that the current seller doesn't know, or didn't care to share it (as in, don't let the facts get in the way of talking it up).

Just this thread alone would beyond a doubt prove everything put into this car for any potential owner;
This thread is some serious documentation!

I am still surprised that Bob let it go.
I expected that with all the work put into it, that he'd want to enjoy it!?

I think its definitely the top dog #1 "Formula Hooded" car of all time.
Thats a big statement because we all know there are some really kick ass cars still in existence within that category.
It's actually my top pick of all cars built in 1972, if they were all Free - just pick 1 out

loose guessing
in a Perfect Storm of bidder prospects = 111,000

CoVid19 Rehab Mecum = 88-91k

eBay = 72-75k

PY Peanut Gallery/non-potential buyers = 45k with a full tank of highest octane known to exist

Bring-A-Trailer = 185,000

Damn, I’m getting seller’s remorse reading all these posts and seeing the Mecum photos .....

It will be interesting to see what it bids to and at what price the seller is willing to cut it loose. Even in the perfect storm range he’ll be losing a big chunk of change and if the reserve get’s lifted in the CoVid range I will be tempted to try to buy it back.

You and me both, Bob. ;-)

(just kidding. All my $ is going into the purple cuda at the moment)

It's going to be one heckum of a Mecum at Indy this year !

Hope some guys show up wearing their BentWheelBob/BlackWidow/Perfect Formula T-shirts.
Those were a limited edition print and are No Longer Available.

I too am surprised Bob sold this car. However priorities change over time. I know that I really enjoyed following this thread. Bob, thanks for sharing all of these photos with us.
