Can someone explain this to me?

1966 Paramount with Campy brake and Phil hubs upgrade, sold for $1025.00 URL: *http://tinyurl.com/ybhbju2* Eaby Item #: 160411434603

1975 Paramount frame presently at $660.00 URL: http://tinyurl.com/yljy4wd Ebay Item #: 120543784694

The 1966 was in very nice shape with some nice semi-period upgrades. And I've always heard the pre-bike boom Paramounts were put together better.

Is the color on the 1975 rare or something? What am I missing? Can the Paramount experts enlighten me?

BTW, I thought both auction were well presented with great pictures.
