Market commentary
Mecum Auctions tried to sell this car at Monterey last August, reporting a high bid of $275,000 for it. With this result in Atlantic City the seller should perhaps get the hint that the estimate range is a pipe dream. It is a wonderful car, but it has to be placed in the context of others. Reality apparently hasnt intruded yet, as it immediately went on eBay where the auction ended at $298,211.99 without reaching reserve.
