The brakes fetched $1500 or so by themselves last time they were on the 'Bay, so that would account for a big piece of it. The Prugnat lugged version was limited to just a couple of years. The sizing may have played a role. They made quite a few less Paramounts in '69 (less than a 1000?) than they did in 1972 (3300). The seller has an impeccable reputation. Bidder frenzy ...
