Indeed, Bill. Actually, this worries me a bit. Are we headed for another
one of those upward surge, then mighty crash cycles in collector car
"values"? Or should we just count this incident as an isolated one? As
much as I've always loved the Michelotti-bodied TRs, I can't imagine them
suddenly being worth this kind of money, especially in less-than-top
condition!
OTOH, wonder what this could do for values of other Michelotti designs,
such as Heralds? :-)
