Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wire wheel covers, whitewalls. Largely original, with all the visible body panel faults of an early fiberglass bodied car. Sound old, possibly original, paint, good new upholstery. Some chrome redone but other pieces overlooked and showing some blisters and flaking. An attractively maintained, largely original, example that can be driven with pride and is too good to restore.

Market commentary

This result is entirely appropriate for this car which is a bit too restored to be valued for its originality, but a bit too original to be restored. Enjoy it for what it is in an unusual color combination and at a price that is fair to both buyer and seller.
