Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as the original engine, chassis and body. Polishing swirled paint, excellent chrome, fresh interior and tight-fitting top. The engine compartment is like new. Freshly restored but with flaws here and there (scuffed right door hinge, tiny chips behind the top, a series of blemishes on top of the right front fender, gouges at the center of the front axle) that mean it needs attention before it can be shown with confidence.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Amelia in 2017 for $187,000, then at Auburn Spring in 2018 for $231,000, this L-29 hasn't sparked anyone's fancy long enough to become part of the family, a succession of quick turnovers that don't speak well of it, nor do the many little issues that witness an unusual lack of concern for keeping it up. It brought enough here at Worldwide Scottsdale to give some hope that it will be cherished by the new owner but given its auction history this result is full retail.
