About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The older repaint is starting to dull and both front panels have orange peel. There are scratches on both doors and a few chips on the trunk. Brightwork is dull and faded. The seats have faded and worn. Being white, they're also showing dirt. The passenger's side seat back has a tear. Carpet is faded and starting to pull away. The engine is correct and has been repainted but the paint is starting to crack. Excessive amount of black paint on the inside of the compartment. The paint is cracked and peeling on the upper firewall. Underbody is clean but shows mild wear. Restored and finished in eye-catching '50s colors, but the work was done so long ago that it's currently a tired car that you wouldn't be particularly proud of.

Market commentary

At this price, the new owner has plenty of money left to address some of this car's more immediate needs before putting it on the road to enjoy while further improving it in the meantime. It represents a decent value.
