Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Condition

Automatic, Becker Mexico radio, fog lights, fitted pigskin luggage. 64,499 miles "believed original." Fair interior has been dyed and shows its age, chassis untouched. Fair older repaint. This is not the "subject of a comprehensive professional restoration to modern concours standards" which is described in the catalog, but rather a mediocre cosmetic primping that's supposed to sell on the strength of its attractive "correct" Strawberry color. Viny collection.

Market commentary

Mediocre presentation of a car that hasn't seen much if any recent use is not calculated to get bidders' juices flowing. This could be a $150K car, but only after having $30K spent on it.
