Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Polishing marks in the chrome with delamination on wheels and light polishing marks in the paint. The top is lightly soiled. Interior unworn except for drivers seat. Underside very clean but with some road wear. CCCA Winner in 2002. No Reserve

Market commentary

A bitsa engine constructed around J 237s bellhousing with replica frame, chassis, coachwork and presumably everything else. Attractive coachwork, assembled to high standards and well maintained. The buyer is reasonably safe here given that the cost of purchasing the engine and building the car around it would far exceed this price today but this result is just $70,000 hammer less than Auctions America got for 2330 J315 last weekend in Ft. Lauderdale and that was a real engine, chassis and firewall with only a reproduction Murphy style dual cowl phaeton body.
