Equipment
420/265hp inline eight, 3-speed, dual black cloth covered sidemounts with mirrors, luggage rack, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, jump seats, small Pilot-Rays, raked one-piece windshield.
Condition
LeBaron body, reported to be the original driveline and body to the chassis, passing through the collections of Jerry J. Moore, J. Peter Ministrelli and Paul Andrews. A-C-D Category 1. Restoration performed by RM Auto Restoration. CCCA Premiere Senior winner. Very good bodywork and panel fit. The paint has no noticeable damage but is in need of a fresh polish to deepen the finish. The top fits tightly and brightwork is very good. The interior has wear from use but is not excessive. A beautiful older restoration that holds up extremely well.
Market commentary
Been around a while? Sold at Kruse Auburn Fall in 1998 for $456,800, two years later for $583,00, then at Christie's Monterey in 2007 for $902,000, Bonhams Simeone in 2017 for $1,001,000. A magnificent but getting older car with delectible LeBaron coachwork. A classic LeBaron Duesenberg J may age, but its appeal never goes away.
