Market commentary

35 lot numbers ago RM sold a similar SS 100, meticulously restored a decade ago and judged essentially flawless in several marque concours for $286,000. Tell me whats wrong with this picture Its the mental image of saving, restoring and presenting this 45 year barn find and the prospect of turning it into a $1,045,000 work of art like the one sold nearly simultaneously out at Pebble Beach. Psychic income counts for a lot ... but not this much.
