Market commentary

Sold by Mecum at Monterey in 2016 for $35,200, this result indicates the hazards of going last at any auction, let alone without a reserve. The bidders had gone to dinner, there was no money left in the marquee and the successful bidder faced little opposing interest, going home with a vintage race-ready highly-competitive E/P Elva Courier for a true bargain price. An engine rebuild would cost as much as the price paid here for the complete car.
