Hey - it's slow here today!
Put a blower on it and try selling at next year's Barrett-Jackson.

The car has a _history_. It would therefore be desireable as a real
vintage racer. I don't squat about the value of Daimler anythings, but a
Mark Donohue car has gotta be worth more than a streetable SP250 might
be, regardless of the car's looks or anything.
I mean _Mark Donohue_, for crying out loud. He was _the man_.
If I were you, I'd try to get the car "period correct" for when it was
raced by M.D. and then try to sell it through Hemmings or one of the vintage
car brokers.
That's my $.02 worth.
