Maybe it was a setup, Just like when the big bull breeder sell a bull for 850,000 dollars, but they forget to tell you, they have to buy a bull from that same person for equal amount. In the mean time it creates a lot of traffic to his ranch looking at his bulls. And that's no BULL.
 
You are right about inflated prices at purebred cattle auctions. Reminds mean of the old saying. "One of them lies and the other one swears to it
"
 
looks like 400 dollar H to me. I just bought a super H with new tires and good paint for 1000 bucks.
thought I made out like a bandit.
 
All the info is in the link.

I can see the low hour, and believe the story, heck, it has the battery box decal on it, so it has to a point be original, but the ALL original part, I'm not sure.

Looks like they took quite a bit of that original paint off when they pressure washed it. I have my grandpas 53 Super M that still has the original tires, even has the warranty wires on the governor. My grandpa had it repainted once tho. Still maybe worth 20K, LOL.
 
Mecum reports auction results on their site. They are a quality auction company, mainly in classic cars. I believe they would not report sales they did not make.
