You mean someone might buy it despite the fact he once had it in his garage?

$950,000 for a car with a dent in the sidepipe ?

CSX3264, the ex-Rod Stewart and ex-Jan & Dean Cobra, is being offered once again for sale at the Russo and Steele auction in Monterey, Aug 17 (Sat), 2013.
   
   I had heard that the sale might've fallen through at the Worldwide Auctioneers event in Houston, which might explain why it's being offered again so soon.  Either that or someone is looking to make some $$s on a quick flip.

They could even lose some $$$$$$$$$ on a quick flip, remember what happened with one of the Dragonsnake Cobras a couple of years ago ?

I heard that the car did not sell this past weekend at a high bid of $700,000 USD.
