About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Replacement engine. Generously filled body with attractive paint but with orange peel on the windshield posts. Very good chrome, upholstery and gauges. The engine compartment is superficially redone and squirted black. The engine itself is done but installed without detailing. Makes a good first impression that doesn't hold up.

Market commentary

Obviously the bidders here at the Biltmore liked this Porsche a lot more than I did not only here but also at RM's Monterey auction in 1998 when it was similarly described ... and sold for $16,264. It would not have been a good value at the low estimate and at this price it is seriously expensive.
