Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fluid drive, chrome wire wheels, pushbutton radio, P W. Poor blotchy old repaint, blisters at left rear fender, some thin chrome, decent interior.

Market commentary

A very unusual car, bought for a very handsome price reflecting its rarity if not any intrinsic merit beyond the Firedome hemi head V8 engine. Fluid Drive certainly wont win any prizes. Even if the buyer thought this car was a 3, its still a handsome price.
