Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Very good blemish-free paint. The brightwork is also very good. The only blemishes are light surface scratches on the vent window trim. The interior is also very good. All the trim and upholstery have superb fit and finish and do not show any wear. The vents located on the rear quarter panels are very dull and show wear. Heavy undercoating on the underbody. Restored twice, initially in the 1980s. It's no longer super fresh but for the most part is a very attractive car.
Market commentary
The longevity of the Tucker phenomenon, ever after being refreshed by the 1988 movie, is noteworthy. They had seriously handicapped engines and transmissions, not to mention the handling challenge of the rear-mounted water cooled powerplant. They are cherished, even revered, artifacts and this is what it takes to own one this good.
