I was quite surprised too. Imagine what the ebay insertion fee with that
high reserve must be. Isn't this the chassis that was a show car that
Champion rented back to Audi for Sears Point last year when all the
Joest team cars were in France? If so, the last time I remember the car
it looked like this: http://motorsportvisions.com/splm02f/pages/sp02_145.htm

I can see the ebay description now: "Lightly driven for just a few hours
on weekends"

They want this car to go to a collector, not back into competition. The
World Challenge GT cars, OTOH, they want to help keep in the series from
what I gather.
