Market commentary
23-Windows just keep getting more expensive, and that includes this specific example. It hammered not sold at a $100,000 high bid here last year after hammering not sold at a $150,000 high bid a few months before at Mecum Monterey. This is an over the top result even among Bus prices that already seem over the top. For the curious, this works out to $5,041.67 per horsepower, and it is righthand drive, a curiosity in the U.S., but not driver friendly.
