Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Electrified Gray & Davis headlights and sidelights, oval bolster fuel tank, single rear spare with round tool box inside, varnished wood spoke wheels, alternator, switch panel from a boat, later speedometer clamped on steering column, bulb horn.

Condition

Dirty old car but complete and inclined to be great Exceptionally cool A driver, maintained (if that word applies) in generally usable condition with many updates for the 1988 Great American Race to facilitate touring and dormant since Needs a lot, but will reward sympathetic attention with an important, good handling American sports car

Market commentary

This is not your conventional collector car. Its many updates make it a bit of a hybrid, but a car to be enjoyed for what it will do, not for what it is. Every bit the sports car as a Mercer or Stutz, without the aura, and a great value even at 1 6th over the modest high estimate. A car for someone who loves to tinker, adjust, tune and drive without worrying about stone chips and bug splatter. I liked this Scout a lot.
