Market commentary
Found by Mecum in the late 80s, sold here in 91 for around $170K, carefully reassembled with rare performance parts which were taken off before it was sold to a Chevy engineer after Piggins effort was successful. The one and only, with a unique and significant history. Is it worth a million and a quarter Apparently. There was real money at this bid from Joe Bortz; underbidder was on the phone. Wow.
