My prediction is that this historic car will sell well north of $500K, in
its somewhat unrestored state. I say somewhat since the car was essentially
destroyed in the 1955 Le Mans disaster, and then rebuilt, so I don;t know
how much it would hurt to restore it again. I don't think it's out of line
to say that historic 100S's could reach $1 million dollars in the near
future. As such, someone paying that amount of money will want a car that's
usable.
Cheers,
Curt
