Market commentary
Reported sold at Mecum Monterey in 2018 for $209,000 then flogged through five more Mecum auctions at steadily decreasing high bids until it arrived here where it was bid to a reasonable number, and over the pre-sale low estimate, without selling. The centerlock wheels are seriously cool looking, as is the Nardi steering wheel, but there is no excuse for it not going to a new home at the reported high bid.
