Factor paid about $20,000 for the Duesenberg Model J. Murphy, capable of breaking 100 mph, "in a day when you could buy a family car for about $500," Terrance D. Lobzun of RM Auctions Inc., told the Chicago Sun-Times. Advertisement Lobzun refused to identify the buyer, saying, "Some (of our customers) don't even tell their wives." Factor, who in his heyday directed much of the Chicago underworld from his 14-room Gold Coast apartment, sold the car three years later. The automobile eventually ended up in the hands of the S. Ray Miller Museum in Elkhart, Ind., which sold it Tuesday. Toward the end of his life, Factor ran the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas. He died in 1982 at the age of 85.
