My sentiments exactly! I would have guessed $50K would be pushing it!

Apparently way more then anyone was foolish enough to bid? Un-freaking believable!!! Perhaps someone needs to throw in their first born along with the almost $200k?

Yea I was gonna say the same thing. Chicane is a big, big dollar car. An absolute rock star in the automotive world and was basically THE car that put Troy on the map. Doesnt surprise me a bit they wouldnt take under $200k.

I'm really surprised they didn't go with something a little more bling bling and cool than Autometer Carbon Fiber series gauges.

I have the Hot Rod with that car in it. I have salivated over that car for years. Yeah I read that Troy built the car with his dad. I think there is almost 500 in the engine cover alone. I think if they sold that car at Barrett, it would have broken some records for custom cars. That thing is so much nicer then the What the Hey that Boyb sold here, and that went for $500k.

That cars a thing of beauty. The time Troy put into that car is mind boggling. 1400hp twin turbo monster. Awesome! It is one of THE cars in the custom auto world.

I really thought they'd hit the 200K mark no problem. If I had 200K to blow, that car would be in my garage, no brainer.
