I was told second-hand that it bid to $450k today and no sale.

That is correct - I watched it online.

Define "bid to" and by whom?

I was at Mecum Indy.   Listed some results in a Cobra post.
You never know at one of these auctions, but the $450k bid seemed legit, and it went to bid goes on.
The Cobra sales seemed like strong prices.  Dave.

Interesting coincidence, its sister #068 is for sale atm as well (around $US 422k)

I'd say he meant "bid up to"....such and such $$

It was a tongue in cheek comment .  Was it real money or was it shill bidding is what many wonder.

[SFM5S159]

I wonder the same thing...was it real money? 
Auctions can be tricky.  Even when a car "sells" there are instances when its "sold" to a friend of the auction house, the commission isn't paid by the "buyer" and the car pops up again at another auction a year later. 

This seemed like a pretty strong bid for the car, but I didn't see it in person.  Non original engine I assume, but the car has some neat in-period history.  Seemed like a fair price to me?
