About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Light cracking in the translucent roof, which would not be cheap to replace. Doors don't fit flush with the body. Brightwork is a little dull. Paint is very good. A few light scratches in the front bumper. Some discoloration on the seat. Worn original steering wheel. Original gauges. Otherwise good restored interior. Very clean and well restored underneath. Not a show car, but a solid older restoration.

Market commentary

Sold for $50,600 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2007, $85,800 at Barrett-Jackson Orange County in 2011, then not sold at RM Motor City in 2016 at a $50,000 high bid. The 2011 result was over the top, but this result is still strong money that the seller should be quite happy to get.
