Equipment
Narrow whitewalls, Bosch driving lights, aftermarket underdash tachometer, aftermarket Alpine stereo.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Supposedly bought new by industrialist J. Paul Getty. Sound old paint (the car was originally Silver) with chips and cracks on the front and around the edges of the hood. Masking errors around the windows. Cracked weather stripping. Dull chrome and brightwork. Reverse light lenses don't match. Good older redone upholstery. Sound but slightly tired original dash and wood. The headliner is sagging and discolored. Sound underneath with a maintained and tidy engine bay. Largely unrestored but complete and enjoyable as-is for someone who enjoys patina, but also a solid foundation for a full restoration.
Market commentary
Bought on a hammer bid just below the low estimate at a price that is more than adequate for this 300Sc coupe's condition but representing a little premium for the celebrity first ownership. The bidders' decision to pay a generous price for it is understandable.
