I agree, at minimum a $10k difference vs. a cabriolet.
Plus, that car is a decent driver at best. The use of the word "restoration" in the ad is laughable.

The top offer looks to have been placed by the seller, were they bidding on their own car?

Looks like the seller was the top bidder. That green color does not enhance the car at all.

Makes me think the car began life as a 35.

Shill bidding? What? I can't believe it. (sarcasm)
I thought that only happened at Mecum. (sarcasm)

These auctions, I just don't trust them. You never know if the bidding is legit and you don't get to fully understand the quality of the car for sale. Put a blind fold on me and say trust me, yeah right.

The frame is surely a 1935 frame, but the cowl is definitely 1936. Based on several other items, like the cast iron heads, and early 1936 interior colors with an exterior color that didn't exist until late '36, someone put this together later.
A little nicer than a Johnny Cash car, but not by much
