About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Driver's door is hard to close. Hood is hard to open. Paint, chrome and upholstery are good. Headliner bows and side window frames are badly rust pitted. The underbody is unrestored, dry and dusty. A sound car, but best suited as the basis for restoration.

Market commentary

As the basis for a restoration the price paid here is going to make it impossible to complete without going seriously underwater. Better to address some of its more noticeable shortcomings and use it as a weekend driver and parade car for which it is only 100% over-priced.
