About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

From the HG Ground collection. Heat rash on the exhaust. The engine looks like it was repainted at some point. Big scuff on the left front fender, but otherwise very good older paint. The doors stick out very slightly at the bottom. Small scratches and light discoloration in the top, the rear window of which is scratched and cloudy. Scratches and scuffs on the rear bumper. Lightly worn, lightly discolored seats and door panels. Never fully restored, but not totally original, either. It's gotten attention when needed to keep it presentable.

Market commentary

Sold by Mecum at Dallas in September 2012 for $62,540, the result today is a big come-down from that, but no less than the car's erratic old cosmetic restoration deserved.
