Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Number 13 of the 50 built, used in the movie. Runs well, but a movie car restoration that looks good on the screen but doesnt waste much time on what the camera cant see.

Market commentary

Its amazing how a successful and well promoted movie can confer value on an unsuccessful car. Intrinsically this production car doesnt seem as valuable as the Tin Goose prototype sold earlier for $262,500 but the buyer thought differently.
