Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

331 195hp V 8, automatic, P S, pushbutton radio, wheel covers, whitewalls, varnished wood cargo floor. Good older paint and original upholstery. Erratic chrome including pitted headlight rims and door handles. Dirty engine, road grime on chassis. A superficially cosmetically restored driver with eyeball appeal.

Market commentary

Sold at The Auction in Las Vegas in 1992 in largely unrestored condition, it remains in just about the same shape today aside from some detail cosmetic attention. The price it brought here is indicative of its rarity, but also its mediocre condition.
