Market commentary
Opened on a left bid at $35,000 that was still in at $120k, this was without doubt the car that had the most interest in Bonhams Preserving auction. Not even the Isotta Fraschini, Aston Martin, Ferrari Daytona or Packard 3 38, not even the Woods Mobilette, endured more peeking, peering, poking and door opening than this Sahara. It all works, just like a great barn find should, and looks perfect for a quick run through the South Jersey Pine Barrens. Its price is a revelation and should see Sahara flooding the auctions for the next year.
