Yes, it is the car originally built for Michael Andretti - it is chassis 028.
The car traded in a private sale, not at an auction. It made news because the broker/dealership involved in the sale wanted to publicize the transaction which is out of the norm for how most of these cars change hands.
There was a rumor of the remains of one of the wrecked cars being preserved but you'd still need to fund the repairs and get McLaren to agree to resurrect the car. There's no way you'd get one back together and functional without their assistance.
There are actually several significant differences - enough so that at least one new patent was required. The Sports Series Monocell also carries what appear to be the upper control arm mounts for the front suspension, whereas those were separate elements on the 12C/650S version of the Monocell.
That is not the face of WANT...
I flagged his comment for SPAM - it's that obvious.

That's exactly how the "Show or Display" legislation came to be. Details documented in this old AutoWeek article on the topic:

The owner's son. He's quite capable behind the wheel - regularly races in the Porsche and Ferrari Challenge series events and does pretty well.
When I saw the headline the Murano Cabriolet was the first and only thing that popped into my mind. I think it might fail the 'ability to find someone else to buy it when finished' test though.
The process of getting into the driver's seat is quite simple actually. Sit on the front edge of the left passenger seat, swing your legs past the steering wheel and into the driver's footwell and then slide your bottom down into the driver's seat. Some F1s have the benefit of an optional quick-release steering wheel…
No - every single F1 was setup in this manner with the shift lever to the right of the driver.
I don't think that is really the case - while the cars are in short supply there are still a handful that are registering only delivery mileage or not a whole lot more. There's one for sale right now with 1,652 original KMs on the odometer but some with far less than that even. In mid-2013 someone paid $13M for the…
These cars are bringing more than $10M at auction without the Leno provenance. Had the one Gooding offered this past summer in Monterey cleared the Reserve price its owner had set, the selling price would have been $11.825M. :o
A large percentage of the cars are being driven more so now than when new. This is somewhat counter-intuitive given their increasing values, but true nonetheless.
This car is presently being repaired by the factory. :)
It's not as if these problems with taxis have appeared only recently. It has been this way for decades and there was no action or interest in cleaning up the industry or for better policy enforcement until this viable and frankly superior alternative presented itself and started impacting their bottom line. Those in…
Quoting you: "Uber is running a taxi car service while paying none of the taxes, medallion and inspection fees, licensing, training, employee salaries, or commercial livery insurance that other taxi car services pay. Uber doesn't even buy or lease fleet cars or have safety inspections."
Those things you mention…
Except he didn't because they are two different chassis in these 'found on the internet' photos.
I did reply, and do believe the ad is bogus, but my replies are back to needing approval here for some reason.
