Sold Saturday afternoon, 3/09/2014 at the RM Auction at the 19th Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. I think it went for something like $144,000. The serial number is 161-001023. Anyone know anything about the history/past owners of this car? Could it be one of the 50 Darrin conversions to Cadillac power that no one has ever seen?

Ne Ne on it having any background to Dutch,
As previously noted, I drove that unrestored car several years ago.
It had the 161 F-head.
