It was also on the televised Barrett Jackson auction week and sold for around $68,000.
The tv moderators were making fun of it a little bit. :o

Do an archive search on this website. Search for "Merlin" You might also try doing a search on "Project Insane Asylum"
Seriously!
I love it! Those pics are great and really show off the workmanship.

Of course they were. It cost over $200k to build.
The whole buildup was posted as it happened here by Merlin. I bet you could find the threads in the archives, but they probably won't have pictures anymore.

It can't. Forum rules specify that all Merlin related threads run a minimum of three pages...
