Market commentary
Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2013 for $225,500 in essentially the same condition as it was offered here. Little or nothing accounts for its over-the-high-estimate result here or huge increase in transaction values from just 19 months ago. Maybe this should be the other example pointed out to illustrate the adage, 'You make your money when you buy.'
