About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Originally light metallic blue. Bought new by a gym teacher. Repainted in 1995. Used on the Colorado Grand. Rebuilt original engine. Paint is sound and shiny, but it's older. There are some microblisters on top of the doors. Stampings in the wheels are a little tired. Original and worn but sound underneath. Original interior has the absolute perfect amount of patina. There are fine cracks in the steering wheel and definitely wear to the seats, but if you're into patina, it's a great look and it's all there. Great colors.
