Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

292 193hp, 3 speed, P Seat, no P S or P B, engine dressup, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls. One owner until acquired from her estate six months ago, odometer shows 62,613 probably actual miles but not verified. Mostly original but with a fair recent repaint, new interior and top. Chassis untouched with some repaint overspray in wheel wells. Engine appears original, untouched and clean, engine compartment repainted rather superficially. Flat panels, even gaps. A good, sound San Francisco T bird.

Market commentary

This T bird probably needed the cosmetic refurb after years in storage but might have reassured the bidders with its honesty if it had been left alone. Superficial glitz may seem appropriate but its probably better left up to the end user buyer to make that decision for a car going right to auction. Originality sells, partial originality raises questions and it could have gone away without regret for the high bid.
