Market commentary
Sold at RM Monterey last year for $198,000. Classic Showcase, who restored this XKE, does an exceptional job and has brought some value curve-bending results. The SI 4.2 XKE market has been on a roll recently as shown by this transaction which is a supply-side quandary: there is no shortage of SI 4.2 XKEs and it's surprising that attracted by prices like this they haven't flooded the market. There is an overhang of supply that threatens to engulf demand.
