Market commentary
From the days when the Speedway was populated with American powerplants and European style rear engined cars. This racer pushed all the right buttons but its stall at this price reminds that old Indy cars are a small niche market. The crowd might have been expecting the Petty Collections STP Turbine which had been announced at Mecums Indy sale as consigned to Monterey. It didnt show up. This is no substitute for an STP Turbine.
