Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, skirts, pushbutton radio, lighted hood orment. Many things missing or superficially done. Anten and outside mirror missing. Dash and instruments untouched, also inside doors and fenders. Some chrome redone, other parts not. Good interior, fair paint. Very erratic and looks like the restorer lost interest or ran out of money.

Market commentary

The price here may be less than the owner invested in the car but its everything that could possibly be expected for its slap dash condition. The new owner is going to have to take a lot of it apart to do over (or just do) and the oversights leave no confidence at all in the way things that are not visible have been attended to.
