Right before that he bought a old kurtis roadster for 775K. I searched online for pics and cars in his museum but I cant find a listing or website. The day after the auction, he flew Carroll out to his museum in his own personal helicopter.

fuck… then again, it is a special car.
mmmm, twin supercharged and 800hp on tap in a lightweight roadster. Unfortunately though, it’ll probably never be driven like it was meant to

LOL, the owner drove the car to the auction with a police escort, he said screw it and drove a 5 million dollar car. The guy that sold it had it hidden away in the basement of his garage. like it was the bat cave or soemthing. They opened the garage door at his house as the car is rising up out of the floor. fucking sick
