About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent cosmetics, new front and rear fenders and upholstery. Very lightly used, but not as it was built. Engine changed to a 289/225hp Ford from the original Ardun ohv Mercury flathead V-8 in the UK in the late 60's, then upgraded to the present modified 289 Ford in 2011.

Market commentary

One of 82 known to survive of 94 built. It'll be [a lot] faster now, a mixed blessing with the J2's notorious handling quirks: fast in a straight line but tiptoe through corners. It was sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2013 for $330,000, a result that strains credulity. The seller's expectations have been realistically reset with this result.
