Market commentary
This GTO brought $49,680 at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach in 2006. The bid it brought here in Des Moines is nevertheless appropriate in 2011. The consignor and auctioneer may have been looking to squeeze out just that last little bit to come close to breaking even, but if so they lost out completely. At $47,000 the seller would have netted over $44,000 and $5,680 or so is little enough to drop on owning and enjoying such a nice GTO for five years. A missed opportunity.
