About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

A long history of modifications including being fitted with a front-mounted Oldsmobile V-8 engine at some point in its life and a 1964 Mercury chassis. Now carrying a correct (but not original to this car) Tucker mill and underside scanned and replicated from Tucker 1047. Excellent paint, perfect chrome, lovely engine bay. Some scratches to the rear glass. The interior is well done if not up to the same impressive standard as the exterior. An excellent restoration that still presents well.

Market commentary

This was the Tucker year at the Pebble Beach Concours and the seller of this car wisely had its RM Restorations reconstructed car featured at the RM Sotheby's auction to take advantage of it. The final product of the restoration is amazingly detailed and complete even if many of the parts were made from scratch to fit under 1046's body. Is it worth what it brought? It must be.
