Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, dual sidemounts with cloth covers, chrome bands and mirrors, dual remote spotlights, Pilot Rays, rumble seat, beige cloth covered luggage trunk. Frame stamped 2213, firewall number 2462. Attractive older restoration in subtle colors. Excellent paint, chrome and upholstery. Top and trunk cloth is lightly but noticeably soiled. Engine has oily mist residue. Chassis is clean and show quality but not fresh. Top fits well but is missing some fasteners. Estate of John OQuinn.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2005 for $825,000, then at Boca Raton in 2006 for $845,300. Surprisingly for a car from the OQuinn Collection it appears to have had some needed attention since then and is in attractive condition. The price is modest for a Murphy convertible even though its consistent with past results for this car.
