Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Luggage. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Very good older restoration, carefully stored and consistently maintained since and showing little signs of deterioration.

Market commentary

This price is representative for sound Gullwings and in this case should be a good value to the buyer who got a very attractive (and menacingly black) Gullwing for a reasonable price.
