About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Dull, chipped paint with a sanded off area on the hood after a long ago carburetor fire. Old but sound stretched upholstery. Stored for decades after the carburetor fire. Now in reliable running, driving condition with an orderly, maintained engine compartment.

Market commentary

Offered at the Leake auction in June 1993 in comparable condition and bid to only $45,000, it fared much better today even if it didn't live up to the expectations of the pre-sale estimate range. It is one of only thirteen built of which nine are known to survive and despite the banged and fried body it deserved to bring more than this result.
