Market commentary

Consignment 4265. Most Skyliner owners spend incalculable hours making the multiple switches, motors, pumps, cylinders and solenoids work properly, with little time or attention left to spend on the rest of the car. This owner seems to have taken the opposite approach, with decent cosmetics and a shortcut wiring system that substitutes the human brain and eyes for the Skyliners interlocks and sensors. Taking that into consideration it would seem like it should have sold at the reported high bid.
