Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

265 162hp, Powerglide, wire wheel covers, wide whitewalls, remote spotlight, pushbutton radio, 2 barrel carb, bumper overriders, no P S or P B. Completely original except for gas tank, water pump, top rear window and carpets, front bumper rechromed. Sound paint is hardly aged at all. Some trim chrome is starting to pit, water stains inside top boot. If the engine were cleaner this would be almost like new.

Market commentary

Sold at Worldwides Houston auction in 2006 for $122,100, it was time for it to find a new home. The exterior and interior look very good but under the hood the engine is very aged and not pretty and that may have turned off the buyers. In any event, it brought what it brought and the new owner should be very happy with it. Any attempt to give it a restoration or even touchup should be struck down by lightning.
