Market commentary
Sold for $126,500 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2008, the price of this rare D-500 Polara today is much more representative of the quality of its restoration and the comprehensiveness of its options list. It is a sound value even at this healthy price, particularly in the exuberant environment of the Staluppi Collection sale.
