Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

308 Twin H Power six w 4 speed hydromatic transmission. P S and P B. Part of the Glenn Shaeffer collection and restored in 1989, however today the right and left side panel fit is off. Paint is very good, as is the interior. Saturday Prime Time.

Market commentary

There was plenty of talk about Big Hudsons dominating NASCAR in their day, but those were eights. This is a six. This rare convertible in good condition brought bidders to their feet and a very impressive price. The Barrett Jackson Effect is in evidence here.
