Equipment
Two sets of wheels, chromed and painted, tools, manual, service book and mid 60s registration. Good repaint, otherwise original. Hinged steering wheel, belly pans. 4,217 miles from new, ex Willet Brown. A beautiful, time warp mostly original Gullwing.
Market commentary
Expectations were set high on Friday when Gooding & Company sold its alloy bodied Gullwing for $4,620,000, but the Gullwing market really got reset with this transaction at Barrett Jackson. Yes its low miles and its impressively preserved, but this is a huge premium for the originality and mileage. It is destined to be a collection showpiece, but every mile added to its odometer and every soft piece of tubing, belt, hose, bushing and grommet replaced to make it drivable saps its value. This is a curve setting price that will drag every other Gullwing along behind it.
