Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Radio, hubcaps, wide whitewalls.

Condition

Represented to have the original engine. ACD Category 1. Excellent paint, chrome, interior, dash, gauges and engine. Underbody and chassis restored to factory condition in the late 80's and kept very well.

Market commentary

The quality of the restoration is apparent in its survival still in nearly showroom condition thirty years later and the bidders were encouraged to pay a healthy price for it. It was one of three Cord 812s in the auction, an embarassment of opportunities for Cord fanciers. It was sold by RM in Monterey in 2013 for $225,500, then in Arizona in 2016 for $209,000 and has acced only 67 miles to its odometer since 2013.
