Ralph had lots and lots of money so the mil wasn't a huge deal for him and it meant he got the car instead of BJ's imaginary or shill bidder.

The latest price is more what the car should be worth then and now. It's racing history is now just a paper trail and the car doesn't much resemble it. It had stock sized Cragar SS's and small tube street headers. That'd be like taking Jenkins 72 Vega and restoring it as a stock 4 banger and adding 13 x 6 Supertricks and stick on vinyl "Grumpy's Toy" graphics.
