About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good engine compartment with buffed intake runners. Clean, sharp underbody. Weak trim chrome. Not fresh, but well done and maintained. One of three Gullwings imported new into Guatemala by Manfredo Lippman. Restoration completed in 2006 for Mario Sueiras.

Market commentary

The least expensive of the eight Gullwings offered at Monterey this week, a car that needs no excuses and will stand up wherever it appears. A sound, even good, value at this price.
