Market commentary

Sold at RMs Ft. Lauderdale auction in March 2010 for $55,000, then at Russo and Steele in Monterey in August of this year for $56,100. These are particularly charismatic cars, distinctly different from the rest of GMs offering in fact, from the rest of Detroit that marked the resurgence of Pontiac. Buyers decision to value this Tri Power Bonneville consistently in mid five figures is surprising. It could have brought substantially more without being generous, let alone expensive.
