Not a cheap copy, but a copy none the less. Maybe if it was actually Roth's work!

Does nothing for me.

Like no one here would spend silly amounts of money on anything if they had essentially unlimited funds...

Indeed.
The Mysterion was one of the "Lost" Roth show cars. The original ended up in pieces and sold off.
The first replica was built by a guy here in Michigan while Roth was still alive and Roth gave him lots of info. I don't know if that was the one just auctioned off or not.
Prices on stuff like this is always a "You never know" type of deal. When the original Golden Sahara and the Kookie T were auctioned off a while back the Kookie T brought way more money(Even though it had been altered beyond recognition.) then the one of a kind Sahara.
If I ever win the Lotto. Watch out.......[ddd

p.s. Interesting thing is that it was a no reserve auction and was estimated to only bring in around 150,000

I could maybe see that price if it was a real Roth car but a repo... can't see it! But after all... it's not my $$$ either!!!
