Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

A very tired older restoration badly in need of a total redo. Paint poorly masked, dull and cracking. No drivers door window, cheap Sparkomatic cassette stereo, cracked windshield seals.

Market commentary

Maybe the underlying car is better than it appears from the outside. Unsold on the block at a high bid of $150K, later reported sold for this price which corresponds to a $132,500 hammer price.
