About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Body-off restored in 1995 and won an award at the MOPAR Nationals that year. Stored for years, well maintained since and still nearly impeccable. Looks like a restoration that's two years old, not 25.

Market commentary

Sold at Auburn Fall in 2016 for $39,600, then at Mecum Indy eight months ago for a breathtaking $63,250. It crossed the Mecum Harrisburg block five months ago where it was bid to $40,000, the same hammer bid that bought it here at Kissimmee, conclusively demonstrating that once you pay too much it's difficult if not impossible to get out from under a bad decision. The odometer has added only 12 miles since 2016 and at least the interim caretakers have preserved its high quality restoration to the benefit of the new owner in this transaction who got a quality and unusual truck for a realistic price.
