About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Four-owner car restored in the 1980s and kept up with since. The driving lights are a little dirty and the chrome looks older. Slightly erratic panel gaps. Worn steering wheel. A little dirty underneath but not bad. An attractive event car, but you wouldn't enter it into a show.

Market commentary

Sold for $81,000 at Mecum Kissimmee in 2014, then not sold at a $60,000 high bid at Mecum Monterey 2015, the updated transmission is a knock on its originality but a huge boost in its drivability. All things considered, this is a blissfully benign result for the new owner, a seriously good value.
