About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

One of twenty Supersonics built by Ghia to a design by Giovanni Savonuzzi of which 15 were Fiat 8Vs. Sold first to Chrysler president K.T. Keller, then to Lou Fageol. Excellent paint, chrome, interior and glass. A show quality restoration with its original engine to better than new condition.

Market commentary

A breathtaking piece of futuristic, elaborate, streamlined Italian coachwork by one of the masters of that particular art, Giovanni Savonuzzi. Although only 20 were similarly bodied their visual impact has ensured their survival. This is a representative price for an 8V.
