About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Old repaint in remarkably good condition. very good original interior, highly polished chrome and stainless. Underbody covered in dirty original undercoat. Clean, orderly engine compartment. A very good, highly original and carefully maintained Nomad represented as the 11th built and showing that on the body number plate. GC engine suffix is appropriate to the 3-speed overdrive transmission but calls out a base 2-barrel 265 V-8. Represented as 'original' leather interior, which is consistent with the claimed 'original' 4-barrel.

Market commentary

This is a really, really, really good Nomad that might actually have covered only the 17,617 miles showing on its odometer. It has been meticulously maintained and has exceptional eye-appeal as well as being lavishly equipped. The 'leather' interior and 'original' 4-barrel claims don't do much for the other claims for the car, however. The price it brought is strong for the basic car but entirely deserved by its outstanding condition for its age and the 3-speed overdrive transmission that is much more rare, although more taxing to drive, than the usual Powerglide.
