Equipment
Copper brightwork, dual cloth covered sidemounts, windshield visor, copper plated wire wheels, E&J bullet headlights, wood steering wheel, windwings, wood bumpers.
Condition
Exceptional boat tail 4-seat coupe body with cycle fenders, and the fronts turn with the wheels. Displayed at the New York Auto Show in 1926. Acquired by Bill Harrah in 1973, then to Tom Lester in 1983 for whom it was restored by Eric and Vivian LaVine, then to Bob Pond in 2001. Very good older paint, interior and brightwork. Chassis shows some age, a few miles and is a little grimy. CCCA National First Prize # 1179.
Market commentary
Believed to be the only intact and complete Rickenbacker Super Sport, and a spectacular example at that. It's worth whatever the RM Monterey bidders said and there's really nothing else 'comparable.'
