Market commentary
Sold by RM in Arizona to John OQuinn in 2007 for $418,000 in essentially the same condition as it displayed today (cataloged under its engine number.) The odometer today shows just 5 more miles. It is a marvelous re creation of a lost, important, automobile and was bought heroically reasonably at this price.
