Market commentary

Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 1999 in essentially the same condition as it is presented here, it's added just 269 miles to its odometer in the last 18 years and is still impeccable. Its survival is a tribute both to the quality of its restoration and its preservation in Tom Derro's collection. The new owner could pay more, but not get much more car than this.
