Market commentary

This is a sweet car even though the Dart Phoenix body contours and details are contrived and derivative. It's what's under the hood and inside the car that makes it special. The underhood presentation with the long ram dual quads is awe inspiring. The yoke-style steering wheel, button laden dashboard and dashtop-mounted rear view mirror are daringly different. If it didn't look contrived from the outside it would be worth much more. It sold for $123,750 at RM's sale of John Staluppi's collection in 2012. Bid to $80,000 at RM's Ft. Lauderdale auction a year ago, it could have sold here for the reported high bid.
