Market commentary
This years Barrett Jackson cover car, bought for nearly as much as the Oldsmobile F88 last year.The sellers were a little disappointed: I cant believe we were beaten by a BUS! This car was offered at Kruse Auburn in 1998 and here in 1999 in as found unrestored condition where it was a no sale at $300,000 and $240,000 respectively. Its safe to infer that this price represents a handsome profit even after a very expensive and meticulous restoration.
