The engine will be accompanied by a custom wood crate, the pictured engine stand, dual oval air cleaners, a chrome oil pan, red vinyl velocity stack caps, exhaust port block-off plates, and an Ardun electric clock bearing Zora Arkus-Duntov’s signature.

Looks like it sold for $42,500.

Sounds about right. I was thinking I couldn't reproduce mine for less than 50k. Mine are originals. If I ever need to, I would put the reproduced valve train in mine.

I see $42.5 K. ( Not me LOL )

This is interesting. A friend of mine bought a restored Ardun powered race car with legit history for $25K this fall on BAT.

Seller lost money on that engine after fees are accounted for. Purchased it for $41.3k at the Mecum auction earlier this year.
