About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Market commentary

Sold from Bill Lassiter's collection by Christie's in 1999 for $266,500, then by RM at Monterey last August for $825,000 so it's no surprise the consignor declined to accept less than that after addressing some of its shortcomings in the last few months.
