Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Edmunds heads, Offenhauser intake with Holley 4 barrel, 3 speed with overdrive, spinner wheel covers, wide whitewalls, working lakes pipes, windshield sunvisor, cruiser skirts, rear anten, console, Pasonic CD stereo, bench seat, yoke style steering wheel with two neckers knobs, dummy spotlights. Lowered. Decent paint, good paint pinstriping. Good chrome. A neat cruiser with style and eye appeal that shows plenty of use on the chassis.

Market commentary

This is a pretty cool custom, but it probably has limited appeal, particularly with its flathead and 3 speed, which wont appeal to a lot of todays new collectors. Even at that, however, its worth more than the amount bid for it here.
