Market commentary

An awesome restoration that has been maintained in as restored condition for nearly 20 years. When bidders take off all their inhibitions and prices shoot throught the ionosphere, as this F bird did, is it value, ego, or good money chasing bad Its not value because F birds are not unusual and this is at best a $100K car in todays market, leaving two alternatives, both of which should recognize that the buyer probably wont care about this car long enough for it to be worth more than it is today.
