Market commentary
The see-through engine cover is a treat and indicates the pride someone took in the specification of this Monza Spyder early in its life. It was sold by Auctions America in Burbank in 2013 for $9,350, then crossed Mecum's Monterey auction block a year later with a reported high bid of $18,000. That it sold here for about the same hammer bid is indicative of a fairly static market and is an intriguing, even charming, car for a respectable price.
