Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Runs well. Keep that in mind. Car card says, apparently tongue in cheek, This all origil Dodge has received a frame up restoration. Thats a pretty difficult feat, and there is little of this car that is either restored or origil. Despicable old repaint, tired interior, pitted, rusty chrome. Fright pig.

Market commentary

An object lesson in the mantra that any car that runs is worth $2,000, this Dodge was bought for $1,500. Probably the scuzziest automobile to cross an auction block in the last decade, its not only despicable but also the least desirable body in the Dodge catalog. Its a parts car.
