About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as the original engine. Good paint over a generously filled body. Driver's door doesn't close flush but the gaps are even. Under the right door there is a 4 inch scrape that should buff out. Very good upholstery, instruments and top. Orderly engine compartment in nearly showroom condition aside from a little gasoline staining on the left carburetor.

Market commentary

Not sold at a reported high bid of $375,000 at Mecum's Monterey auction in 2014, an historical artifact that does little to make the seller feel better today, even with this realistic result. Its condition is largely above reproach, and so it the result.
