Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Skirts, heater, antenna but no radio. 1976 AACA Senior winning restoration now with patina. Pitted chrome, paint cracks at stress points, delaminating windshield. Sound and usable but far from pristine and definitely not show quality.

Market commentary

Rerun of 393 and 243. Reported sold at RM Arizona in January 2002 for $19,250 and noticeably in worse condition here. The seller could have let go for the amount bid. The pain of a $7,000 loss is minor next to what further time and neglect will do to this Bantams value.
