This is collborated by a commercial on the HDtht channel, which gives the following info: raced by the Belgium team Ecurie Francorchamps, owned by Harry Yeaggy, and was featured in the Cincinnati Art Museum from Nov 2007 to Jan 2008 http://www.designtaxi.com/news.php?id=13507

1962 Ghia L 6 4 at Spring Fling

This stylish and luxurious car was outfitted with nearly every imaginable amenity including fitted luggage.
The L6.4 was built atop a custom chassis and used fewer off-the-shelf parts than the earlier Dual Ghia had. Eugene Casaroll decided not to participate in the production, mainly because of health issues, a need to focus on his other businesses, and concerns about the cars high price tag. The L6.4 was made even more luxurious than its siblings and offered for $13,500, nearly doubling the price of the Dual Ghia. Without the backing of Casaroll, the car was never badged as a Dual Ghia. It was built and sold by Carrozzeria Ghia with Farago acting as the American agent. A total of around 25 examples were created.
This 1962 Ghia Coupe estimated value of $175,000 - $250,000.
this Ghia was purchased at the Gooding & Company auction at Pebble Beach in August 2009 for $418,000 accordign to a cool reader who left a comment
