Equipment
241/200hp Hemi, PowerFlite automatic, pushbutton radio, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, continental kit, clock.
Condition
One of 700 Pace Car Replicas rolled out to the public. Old repaint with some prep issues and many chip issues. Sound interior of about the same vintage as the paint. Old gauges. The old undercoat probably left the original selling dealer this way. The chrome is generally pretty good and bright. Window felts are worn but the door windows seem tight in their channels. A remarkable survivor with only enough restoration to keep it presentable.
Market commentary
A niche car, appreciated by old guys who remember the dawn of the Hemi and Dodge performance. This Royal 500 Pace Car would have been a much better buy at its low estimate than this nearly high estimate hammer bid, but there's no denying its appeal even in this mediocre condition. Put it down to a couple of old guys who remember a car they couldn't have in high school. And when will we see one again? This might not be a chance to miss?
