These cars (1974-1982, 3-liter HGP eligible only) go for between $220K to five times that (for Ferraris 
). Hunt's car is in the upper middle range.

Very cool car for the money, but remember how many folks died in these cars - my problem is I'd forget what I was in and start driving it too hard and I think they demand some level of restraint. Also you want the best possible prep and there are probably only a handful of competent shops. Years ago I had a 1982 March Indy car, based on the same monocoque used for the F1 cars, and my feet were forward of the centerline of the front wheels. And the guy who prepped it, who shall go unnamed, had NO FRONT BRAKE PADS on it when I went out for inaugural outing at TWS. Fortunately I was still going slow and warming up when the pistons popped out of the front calipers.

You would not have a problem, Keith, but others would...
Agree on the shops. Having put together and run an Alfa 179C V-12 F1 car from 1982, I agree completely! Don't like those feet forward of the front axle line, but I did do a :59 at Roebling Road in it!

I looked for it in the garage and the cockpit had a Lola chassis tag, stickers were contemporary of Massa's runner up year and Kimi's championship but it was an older car.
Driver was wearing MSC-line helmet.
Very Cool to be around but not a Ferrari...
