I saw this on Hemmings online today. Didn't this car just get auctioned late in 2010?

Estimate
$165,000 - $185,000

Chassis no. 1FAFP90S95Y400021

During the 1960s, the original GT40 epitomized Ford’s “Total Performance” program and was created with just one purpose: to break Ferrari’s dominance of international endurance racing. That goal was realized in 1966 when the GT40 secured its first win at Le Mans, repeating the trick three more times in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Based on the GT40 concept unveiled at Detroit in 2002, the modern-day Ford GT represents a more than worthy successor to the original, with a 550-bhp supercharged V-8, an electronically-limited 205 mph top speed, and phenomenal handling capabilities.

This first-year 2005 Ford GT was bought new by Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson and is still titled in his name. With only 263 miles on the odometer, it is the 21st GT built and complies with California emissions regulations. Options include the very rare stripe delete, brake package, McIntosh Stereo, upgraded wheels, and California registration eligibility.

Car sold for $160,000 + 10% buyer's premium. Seems really cheap for a 263 mile no stripe? Was there a story behind this car?
