1975 - Mike Pinto, Bridgeport, CT, USA acquired s/n 0383GT sometime around 1975. At this time, the car had already been extensively damaged by fire, purportedly in the Detroit riots. The car had been reduced to a rolling shell with most of the alloy body panels still intact.  The engine and transmission were never with the car during this time. The car was stored, and it remained in that condition from that time until its sale in 1986

Anthony Kalil remembers ...
"John Collins offered $1,000,000 million for the car, as everybody was assuming that the prices would continue to skyrocket. The car was also the prototype TdF, so John thought it would be a solid investment. Unfortunately, the market crashed just after my father sold the car, so John ended up holding for some time, and finally selling it at a huge loss.

I remember John flew to Florida and he drove to my fathers building with some associates, and looked at the car. He confirmed his 1 million offer. My father said that it would take 1 million and $25k. John passed on the deal, and drove off. A minute later, he pulled back in and asked my father why he would blow a million dollar sale for 25k. My father explained to John that my mother laughed at him when he paid 30k for a burned out hulk (the car was actually much better than most of the history documents) and he swore he would get 1 million for it one day. He knew that once he paid his friend 25k for introducing him to Collins, he would be short of the 1 million mark. John laughed and agreed. The car was promptly shipped over to the UK."
