What's not to love? A 3-way bidding war on a 98 that was far from a bubble-wrapped/low mile example.

...especially with those pedals!
It's an interesting piece for the 97 vs 98 value.

Much, much higher than I anticipated. Looks like new pricing has been set.

Agree with all the above. I thought mid $40k would be about it, as recent ITRs seem to have cooled a little on BaT. Don’t ever underestimate Championship White!
Related but for another thread, I wonder how many one owner ITRs are left in North America.

Being one, I'm interested too. Do it!

Could you post recent pics of your unicorn?

i dont really think comparing the barrett jackson 97 with this 98 is an even comparison when it comes to value. i believe the 98 sold for more solely based on the 97 opening caR enthusiast eyes to the type R. the 97 was the stepping stone that these Rs needed to be in the spotlight and now they are not off the radar like they were when the 97 sold. in my opinion if another 97 in that same condition popped up for sale it would beat either car considerably.

I was hoping for a discussion on this, so thanks for that.
Yeah, I'm curious myself. I know some people prefer the 98+ facelift in CW. I like both both but have preferred the 94-97 styling because of my old 95 GS-R.
What do we think a ~15k mile, nearly perfect condition, 97 or 98 would go for?
