Equipment
Chrome spoke wire wheels, blackwall tires, Hispano Suiza brakes, dual aeroscreens. This car with unconfirmed Argentine race history makes a flashy appearance with gorgeous paint on the body. The condition of the chassis and suspension dont bear that out. Old and worn suspension rebound straps. Cloudy plating on the headlights is wearing through.
Market commentary
The car itself is neat and the cosmetic issues dont hurt it too much. What does hurt is the questionable history and frequent auction appearances which show it selling at Worldwide in Houston in 2006 for $269,500 and a no sale at Worldwides Hilton Head sale in 2008 at a bid of $180,000. Its a cool piece that needs to be used. Should it come to market again anytime soon the downside risk is significant.
