About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restoration completed last fall, and the odometer shows 8 miles. First year for Boss Kettering's high compression ohv V8 and last year for a woodie from Olds. Panel gaps are uneven and the rocker trim isn't flush. Otherwise, the paint, brightwork, wood and interior are all excellent.

Market commentary

This is a significant automobile for many reasons and it is beautifully restored. With no evidence that it has been judged yet the new owner will be able to show it with pride and confidence while also preserving a bit of history. For all of that, this is a reasonable price.
