He also used the 410 in the Cannonball race across America, which he described in rather ribald terms. The last I heard, the 410 was resting in a field in Tulsa Oklahama where Rolling Art, the car-restoration company owner who bartered it off Toly was asking $35,000 (in 1995) in its unrestored state. At the time, that was about four times the market price, but maybe the Cannonball status adds value.

I think I remember seeing the car (looking slightly out of place) on the front cover of a 1970's Road & Track magazine amongst Daytona's and Countach's as part of a celebration of the Cannonball. I read it was in a pretty well used state then.
