Market commentary

The first Eleanor fastback nearly exploded peoples heads when it brought $194,400 at B J Scottsdale in 2003. Lately its successors have ratcheted quickly back to still impressive prices in the $100,000 range. This transaction had the same effect upon the West Palm crowd as turning on a 20 kilowatt stereo full blast: there was bleeding from eyes and ears. This is a car that Unique and Shelby are going to keep duplicating until Carroll can no longer hold a Magic Marker to sign the dashboards. This price is not over the top, its over the moon!
