On Dino 03678, was its LeMans background unappreciated for awhile?

I made a painting of it, unaware that it actually raced at LeMans.
I was wondering if, way back when Courtney Whitlock of Missouri sold it , if it was mistaken at that time by many potential buyers who mistook it for a customized Ferrari and did not realize that it was a LeMans racer, thus selling for the same amount as a regular street Dino? Of course now that its pedigree is known, it is eligible for various vintage races that street cars, even those modified to look like LM racers, aren't.
I don't know what it sold for at the latest auctions but it has to be worth at least another 40% over a street Dino because of this race being in its logbook.
