Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Pilot Rays, dual chrome wrapped sidemounts with mirrors, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, mesh hood sides, outside exhaust headpipes, black metal luggage trunk. CCCA National First Prize 709, 1975 AACA National First Prize. Good paint, dull aluminum trim, yellowed dual side whitewalls. A quality old restoration that is showing age but will respond to attention.

Market commentary

Offered by Brooks at Quail Lodge in 2000 at a reported high bid of $440,000, then by Bonhams at the same venue in 2007 with a bid of $780,000 and updated with new paint and other attention since. This car isnt getting any better with age, even with the more recent cosmetic attention. It could have been sold without regret at the reported high bid.
