Equipment
Bent window, silver steel wheels, blackwall tires, green glass visors, woodrim steering wheel. Modified with a one off Pepco centrifugal supercharger installation by Harry Mershimer when new and known as The Sleeper capable of 8 second 0 60 times. Restored like new in the mid 90s with very good paint, chrome and interior and recently freshened so it looks like it was done much more recently. Fuel pump died in the lineup to the block.
Market commentary
Mechanical failings are not uncommon as old cars recently awakened from long slumber are brought to the auction, but they have serious effects on the bidders willingness to keep their paddles raised. The consignor couldnt have foreseen the electric fuel pumps untimely death, but having suffered it would not have been unreasonable to accept the bidders cautious response.
