Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

5-speed, Nardi floor shift, chrome wire wheels, Michelin tires, woodrim steering wheel, sliding Plexiglas side windows, Carello headlights.

Condition

Very good paint, chrome and upholstery. Sound carpets but none on the transmission tunnel. The aluminum trim on the side windows is starting to oxidize. The underbody has been restored, then driven. The sculpted steering wheel is delectable. According to the catalog, it is one of only three Corto Gara Stradales built out of a total of 11 in all.

Market commentary

Reported sold by RM in Monaco in 2012 for $311,523 (Euros 240,000 at the time), aside from being in very good condition and with attractive coachwork it is eligible for a bucket list of important events where it should outperform the price paid for it here. Due to exchange rate differences this result is 58.8% more dollars than in 2012 but 72.5% more in Euros.
