Market commentary
This was a $143,000 car at Gooding's Amelia Island auction in 2011 and evidences little or no improvement since then, not to mention just 309 more miles on its odometer. It must not have been a very rewarding experience and the consignor should be happy to make $27,000 (before commissions) on the exchange.
