If memory serves me...I believe The Smiths paid $25K for the molds for the 427SC and the Ferrari 250 Contemporary had. I don't beleive the molds are worth anything now w/o a freshening...I think they had been used to splash quite a few bodies and that point and were showing their age then.

The name 'Contemporary' can be revived at anytime as I understand it.

In addition, all the paperwork offered at the time of the sale by Peter Bayer, ended up in the trash I think since Burtis wanted none of it...stupid move as I saw it.
