    I was curious about the sale price. Looks like it was recently sold, but a price they didn't think was sufficient. I guess they set the reserve too low? Anybody have any details?

    I'd bet if the interior colors were something neutral like a white or a tan, and the exterior was "expo white" that it would have fetched much more. Plus BJ might not exactly be the right marketplace for something like that.

    I thought the interor was a little intense, but interesting. Don't think it would bother me.

    On one hand- jeez is that thing overbuilt.

    On the other hand, kind of a cool design, but, jeez that thing is overbuilt.

    I'll pass.

    I thought it sold for around $40k.

    If you click on their website you see this banner:

    SOLD: [if you can call it a sale] January 19, 2008 for $45,000 by Barrett-Jackson. Great Job [NOT!!]

    I was just curious for some background on that. Usually there is the option for a reserve price.

    Does anyone know of a way to contact the owner(s)? someone contacted me about to do a special report on it.

    thank you

    Christian, the salesperson I dealt with at General Auction in Buena Park was Kevin Churchill. Their number is 714-670-8643. That was almost three years ago, but potentially worth a try. He might be able to put you in touch with Draco's new owner.
