About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

No visible chassis or firewall numbers. Dirty engine compartment with liquid residue everywhere and messy wiring. Internal coolant leak. Old, dusty chassis. Decent old paint, sloppy accent masking. Good interior, lightly soiled but decent fitting top. Reproduction body by Ted Billings in the style of a Derham Tourster. Long stored and not used in many years, but too good to restore. Sam Vaughn Collection.

Market commentary

This Model J needs a lot of work but it is an attractive, stylish and practical car for road tours and events. Why it brought this obscure result over the high estimate is hard to fathom and it is expensive for the rebodied car that it is, especially after reading the car card note that coolant is leaking into the oil.
