Market commentary
Disappointing condition and a replacement engine do not make for a $400,000 Speedster. Even the reported high bid here is generous for this car. It was reported bid to $370,000 at Harrisburg five months ago and it's safe to infer that there was no money, only inflated consignor's dreams, at the reported high bid.
