32 roadster $14K Scam?

Sheldon, Sometimes there is something presented that I simply 'don't quite get'. I'd like to refer you to an example that Jake and I both noted in the June 2020 HMN, page 66, results of a Scottsdale (Russo and Steele) auction. They show a 1932 Ford Model B (with V8 badges), with a selling price of $17,050, against an 'Avg. Selling Price' of $30K. Looks like a decent deuce roadster in the picture. So, is that 'for real'? Both Jake and I question what we see there. But, on the other hand, I would think that by the time HMN publishes these auction results, I would hope there is some credibility to what they presented.

I remember seeing that roadster also and the price.I think it was blue so even if it was an early Wescott body that was either a missprint,typo or something else.
