It appears the the reporter was numerically challenged.......the limo is actually a 1955, so the 331 Hemi and production run of 12 are both factual.
It sold @ Christie's Retromobile Auction in Paris in February of this year for $56,400. It was 'valued at $35,000 to $45,000' prior to bidding.
Shucks!

Hummm, 331 hemi! Ghia limos must have had a longer lead time than previously reported! :)

LOS ANGELES - Soul singer James Brown's rare 1959 Chrysler Imperial
limousine, used by the "Godfather of Soul" in the 1970s, will be on the
auction block next month.
Only one of 12 ever built, the limo is powered by a 331 cubic inch FirePower
Hemi engine and is valued at $45,000 to $55,000. It ferried Brown and his
entourage, up to eight people, when he owned it in the 1970s.
