Market commentary

A memorable machine, the Wagon Masters importance is its place as one of the first if not the first car built to no competitive class rules, just to create an immensely memorable and successful show to draw spectators to drag strips and fill in the gaps between classes with clouds of tire smoke. If that doesnt justify this price, nothing does.
