Equipment
253/140hp, 3-speed, wire wheel covers, dual mirrors, banjo steering wheel, pushbutton radio, dash clock.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Small dent in the left front fender. Chips around the edges of the hood. More chips around the edges of the doors. Tired chrome and brightwork. Dull gauges. The interior courtesy light is cracked and hanging loose. Decent upholstery. Newer exhaust. Some overspray in the wheel wells. Mostly unrestored underneath. An inherently handsome car and certainly rare, but these colors don't really do the Pinin Farina coupe bodywork justice and the condition is disappointing.
Market commentary
Detailed a bit but not significantly improved since its appearance at Mecum Monterey back in August, when it hammered not sold at a $70,000 bid. The consignor has a rare and significant car, but Nash-Healeys aren't necessarily worth a ton of money and the bidders at two of Mecum's biggest sales have spoken. It's time to let the car go at a realistic money bid.
