Good, Better, Best / 3rd Ford Split Lap Unit 77, Sold Today

so we saw the third auction completed today -- a Ford Split Lap Unit that included the original box and instruction booklet. The price: $3,569.

in rapid succession, we saw one at $2,500, one at $3,000 and one at $3,500 (more or less).

last year, the Price Guide estimated prices at $4,000 (mint) and $3,000 (good condition). Compared with many other classes of assets, we can say that these crazy Heuer Ford Split Lap Unit 77's have held up fairly well over the last 12 months.

we can also wonder whether these three sales might have unfolded a bit differently, had they not gone off, one after the other, over the course of two weeks.
