About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

NASCAR coupe reproduction of the car raced at Linden, NJ in 1954, the first imported car to win a NASCAR race. Decent paint, good seats, crude transmission tunnel modifications. Fair chrome. Old underbody and engine compartment. Usable and unusual but only to mediocre standards.

Market commentary

This wasn’t a cheap car to build but declining a money bid this close to the pre-sale low estimate is brave. Finding a venue where it will appeal and the bidders will be willing to look past its shortcomings in fabrication and appearance is not going to be easy. If there was money at this bid, the consignor would have been well-advised to take it.
