Market commentary
Sold at Barrett Jackson back in 1995 for $312,375, then at RM Monterey in 2004 for $995,500 which after commissions and fees is about what the seller will get out of this transaction. The history is clear, the condition is excellent, and the model is rare. The last two auction transactions have added $220,000 in transaction costs to the reported value, on the buyers side alone.
