Market commentary

There were two bidders from $60K, one in the tent and one with Ian on the phone. Considering that the seller paid for $556,200 during his acquisition binge at Barrett Jackson in 2006 for this car it is something of a bargain, although in absolute terms the price here represents a non trivial premium for its ex Elvis history. The price in Scottsdale was all about Elvis.
