Market commentary

A gorgeous, highly optioned show car. Sold at RM in Monterey in 2007 for $66,000, then at Worldwides Weinberg sale in Escondido in 2009 for $60,500 and most recently at the B J Las Vegas sale in October 2009 for $82,500. The bidders in different places seem to have trouble figuring out what they want to pay for this J 2 Starfire, but the Scottsdale bidder got it just about right.
