Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Mostly original with jump seats, A C and a later stereo. Acquired in the early 70s by Jack Bart, manager of the King of Soul, James Brown. Sold to Brown for a few years, then to the present owner in 2002. Good older repaint and original interior.

Market commentary

Acquired for $41,400 at Bonhams Hershey auction in October 2002, which was Euros 42,186 at the October 2002 exchange rate. This price is 34% higher in Euros, rather than the astronomical 74% increase in dollars. Still, not a bad deal. The seller is dancing around singing, I feel GOOD!
