Market commentary
It is telling to compare this '57 T-bird with the Dusk Rose one sold a few hours earlier and for $18,000 more. It will take a lot more than $18K to make this tired, flawed T-bird even close to the Dusk Rose one, strongly reinforcing the notion that it is, financially at least, far better to buy a 'done' car than one that needs doing, even with a big discount. That's not to say this car was expensive, its price is appropriate for what it is, which isn't much.
