Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual remote spotlights, fog lights, hub caps and trim rings, radio. Purchased by John Woodhead shortly after it was restored by its previous owner. White walls are starting to yellow slightly, mahogany panels are not perfectly glossy, but are slightly textured due to the varnish soaking into the wood (OK, so Im getting nit picky). Apart from that, its just plain perfect.

Market commentary

The buzz about this car began several weeks before the auction with some of the big hitters in Ford circles asking about it. The interest continued right up to the auction and resulted in spirited bidding here, with a deserved result that is well above recent Sportsman prices running just over $100K.
