About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint, chrome, aluminum brightwork, interior, top and glass. A twenty-seven year old restoration that still looks great and is holding up very well except for fading leather on the front seats. Beautiful coachwork, too. Academy of Art University Collection.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2006 for $907,500 and again there four years later for $825,000. Today the odometer shows only 218 more miles than it did in 2006. The car looks to all intents and purposes exactly as it did a dozen years ago aside from the mileage. The result may be a little generous, but the car's history is clear and that counts for a lot.
