Market commentary
Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2004 for $500,500, by Bonhams at Boca Raton in 2013 for $698,500 (after two no-sales in 2010 and 2011). Reported sold here by Mecum in 2013 for $1,016,500 but showed up a month later at the Dallas sale, then at Kissimmee in January 2014, both no-sales, before being reported sold by Mecum at Indy in 2014 for $1,350,000. A no-sale here in 2016 reportedly bid to $800,000. The body history is a little checkered and it is a replica body, but it also is a very pretty one. Expecting much if any more than the reported bid here, however, requires overlooking the replica body.
