Notes:
(From RM Auction's "The Cappy Collection" text):
"Very rare, with less than ten known to exist, loaded with every available option.&nsbp; Stunning frame-off restoration.  Senior National Show winner."

Preview November 9-11, 2006.  Auction estimates ran as high as $140,000.
On November 11, 2006, the car sold for $184,250.

As reported in Special Interest Auto magazine:
"Restored to the highest possible standards within the last 5 years to utter perfection.  Absolutely no signs of use at all.  Overall condition 1+.  While the surviving numbers were off as reported by RM (resident Edsel expert Phil Skinner knows of far more than 10 of these still running), being one of 76 possible has always helped their values.  Whether the other 75 are worth proportionally what this one brought is doubtful, but just bear in mind that price guides are just that - a guide.  More than two bidders fought tooth and nail - price be damned - for what can pretty much be proven to ne the nicest one in the world, so that's all that matters here."
