About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good, lightly run restored engine bay. Very good paint and chrome. Very light discoloration to the seats that might clean out. Very well equipped and got the kind of restoration work it deserved. It's been lightly used since and shows 807 miles on the odometer, consistent with its post-restoration condition.

Market commentary

Sold by Leake in Tulsa in June 2014 for $72,600, then by Mecum in Dallas in 2014 for $75,600. It depreciated a little at Mecum's Houston auction in April of 2016 where it brought $67,100 and now sold here at a very advantageous price for the new owner. It is a classic Shoebox Chevy in period correct colors that needs nothing but some TLC.
