Market commentary
Bid to only $130,000 at Mecum Dallas four months ago, this beautifully restored LS5 4-speed Chevelle convertible found its mark at Barrett-Jackson with a strong result that reflected not only the quality (and freshness) of the restoration but also an impressive list of options. It is a car to be proudly driven and shown pretty much anywhere. The best is expensive, and this is one of the best.
