Market commentary
A significant Thunderbird offered by RM in Arizona in 2009 where it was a $190,000 no sale, then reported sold by Mecum at Indy earlier this year at $275,600. The seller must be very disappointed by the Monterey bidders reception for this car and the $50,000 or so loss these two transactions represent after commission and transport. Hmmmm.
