I`m sure 39PH doesn`t have much different to that total, and 2,611 of those miles were added in 24 French hours! It probably wasn`t driven on the road (apart from to and from LeMans) for the first 12 years of it`s life at least!

24 French hours are indeed taking quite a toll

Believe it or not it has been cleaned up a lot and fixed up quite a bit mechanically and cosmetically since it was first reported several years ago. It was poorly stored for a long time in conditions that allowed a lot of surface corrosion to develop. It had some coachwork damage and a repaint during repairs five decades ago based on the letter the owner got from Shelby American telling them what paint to use.

Bonhams 3359, the real thing, was discussed in a long string in 2014: http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2992
   
   Little has been heard of the non-real-thing (see AutoRetro article) since François Duret's lawyer gave up asserting its reality after several months of dogged trying.

Adding in one of the missing results.
   
   Does anyone know what CSX2417 was bid to at Russo? I don't think it sold, but haven't been able to confirm it yet.

   Last shown was a $700k bid, but it's unknown if that was a real bid or an auctioneers bid ;)

   The Mecum site is showing CSX2588 as a no sale with a bid of $950k
   Perhaps something happened post-block.
