A lot of money to spend on something for your Trophy case.

I have noticed it appears Mecum is blurring serial numbers

Early car. Peter Klutt talked it up in a video before the auction. Record price. More than an R model

Which makes me wonder what that Dick Jordan R model will sell for today, May 16, 2026. That should be a $2 million dollar car all day long if one uses this street car as a bench mark. I remember the Chicago Milo Brooks car R model was for sale back in 1998 in Rapid City, South Dakota for $150,000. I suffered greatly seeing that ad in Hemmings Motor News month after month, having been divorced and did not have the money to buy it. I should have taken out a loan.

For now at least.

Yep. R-Model $2.5M

Could be number 39

[CharlesTurner]

Yes, the '65 street car is 5S039

[Road Reptile]

WOW!!
Amazing car. Hope it goes into a museum so it is seen and shared.
I think the vin has no S Which makes sense for a low numbered 65.

[Road Reptile]

Hey,
Looks like S039 in the pictures, so the lower numbers than this had no R OR S Maybe 32 ??
Nice photo presentation of a spectacular car.

SFM5031 was the last '65 before the S/R designation.

1.1 super-large for a '65, YOWSA.
Those strut rods are a real head-scratcher though, glad to see the owner/restorer was more concerned w drivability than concours-correct. Very few of us left seeing street duty.

Maybe done out of frustration to adjust caster enough for the tires not to rub the fenders?  Doesn't look like any other mods made underneath the car other than they left grease zerk fittings in the LCA's.
