About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Said to be 57,575 actual miles, with a very good original interior and a sound repaint in the original color although now done in base clear coat and thereby looking pretty gaudy. Dash and steering wheel not done and looking ratty and aged. A sound driver. No Reserve.
Market commentary
Two bidder fought over this Ford, which had to have some personal significance completely unrelated to the car or its condition to bring this kind of money. This price is not about the car, which is worth $18,000 on a good day.
