Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, Greyhound radiator cap mascot. One of twelve built by J.S. Inskip in this body style. A good older restoration to like new condition now showing age and use but still clean and well presented. First owned by Joy Harmon and later by Lee Majors, The Million Dollar Man. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Sold by Christies at Pebble Beach in 2002 for $35,250, with nothing other than routine cleaning and maintenance apparently done to it since. This transaction set the tone both for Christies first auction at the Jet Center and for the Monterey weekend as a whole. This result is beyond over the top; it beggars description. The bidders wanted to send a message but it was beyond understanding or appreciation.
