Equipment
226/112hp six, 3-speed, wheel covers, whitewalls, fender skirts, hood ornament, column shift, heater, pushbutton radio, dash clock.
Condition
Touch up on the right front fender, a few chips around the filler cap and a crack on the passenger's front door, but mostly good eye-catching paint. Slightly erratic panel fit. The cloth roof is fraying a little at the edges. Original and aged but well preserved dash, gauges and steering wheel. Good newer seats, carpets and headliner. Mostly unrestored and a little rough underneath. Cosmetically restored and far from perfect, but it's really neat and where are you going to find another one?
Market commentary
No one knows how many Virginians were built but this one sold at Auburn Fall 2005 for $30,240, at Hershey two months later for $33,000, at RM Monterey 2007 for $38,500 and at Mecum Las Vegas 2018 for $34,100. The steep drop in price here isn't down to any change in the car's condition (it looks exactly the same), so the shrewd new owner now has a handsome, rare conversation starter at a bargain price.
