Market commentary

The first of several of Pat Ryans Indy cars to cross the block this evening and perhaps the most significant of all of them, its tired and ignored condition clearly showed it needed comprehensive attention, with no assurance all the expensive pieces were hiding under its skin. Whats it worth Pat should be happy to get this bid. The new owner will write plenty of zeroes in his checkbook to make something of this tired campaigner.
