Joan Baez flat floor '61 roadster, what did the Feds sell it for at auction?

I am doing a barn find book. I found it intriguing that Joan Baez, the singer, bought a new E-type in Monterey,CA back when she first hit it big but then announced a while later she wasn't going to pay the portion of her income tax that went to war. So the Fed seized her house on the beach in Carmel and the Jag and sold the Jag at public auction,. I was wondering if anyone knows what they sold it for, I am guessing she paid about $6500 new but maybe they sold it for $2,000 to punish her more. But maybe they got fair market value. I don't know the SN either, but in trying to find it on a register I found another silver E-type flat floor was sold
in Monterey, that one going to Robert Talbot the guy that makes neckties. Grateful for any info so I can include this car
