I made a short link - so that you could mouse over it and NOT know what the car is. If you're done guessing and just want to see a pretty sweet car, one unlike many others, then you can click the link:

Otherwise, keep on guessing. (I'm likely to go to bed early tonight.)
Other than the basic model, there's zero chance you'd have guessed the full name. I know I wouldn't have guessed the full name. I didn't even know this existed before I saw it at auction and read about it. I then did some more reading, deciding on a value first and then bidding second.
I paid a lot less than I was willing to pay. I'd have been willing to pay up to about 150 for it, because there are no other examples left. It was one of three and now it is one of one. It's certified authentic and has been seen in all sorts of magazines and TV shows.
The price surprised me. Well, sorta... It was pretty late in the day, on a Thursday, so not too many serious bidders were in the building. That's probably why I paid as little as I did.
By the way, that's where you find the best deals. Early in the day, late in the day, or days when they're not doing a bunch of featured auctions. The powerhouse bidders come in at certain times. There's a definite pattern to it.
