Jack Castor owned it and worked a deal with BMW to take it and restored it with the caveat they restored his other one as well. Vids on YouTube of the restoration is this car and it now resides in the BMW museum in Germany. Jack passed on and never saw the final restoration. The other car is owned by a good friend of his. Incidentally, I bought reproduction tail light housings from him which were in Castor’s estate. Those were manufactured by Herman and Gerhardt Bold who owned three 507s and were very active in the 507 world in the 70s/80s. The “Pontiac Blue” 507 that just sold for $2.3mil one of theirs. The other was a Black one that sold at Hershey the year before for $1.7mil. The last of the three Bold 507s is being restored and it’s the one I visited to get my measurements from. Albert and I talk frequently and I visited him the other day while checking out my gas tank and visiting another 507 in the area. He’s very interested in my 507 build and loves following along!
