Market commentary
This is an exceptionally well done Bonneville, made even more desirable by the Tri Power intake. It didnt get much better than this in 1960 and even at the price paid here it is a lot of car for the money. Sold at Kruse Auburn in 2005 for $52,500, then here by RM in January 2006 for $57,200. The jump this year is indicative of the move thats taking place in fullsize GM, Ford and Mopar convertibles. This transaction is the crest of a wave thats building. Next year look for high performance fullsize convertibles like this to be in the heart of the auctions sale order and getting four page descriptions.
