Mullin Automotive Museum located in Oxnard, California purchased the car. For years, the Museum had its attention geared toward acquiring the car but was unsuccessful. The sale apparently took time to broker since both parties preferred the sale remained private until it was finalized.

However, once the car sold the reported price was in excess of $30 million, making it the worlds most valuable car.
