About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Matching numbers. Cosmetically in its original color scheme. Small blister at the back left edge of the hood and some paint rubbing around the door edges, but otherwise attractive older paint and chrome. Very clean and maintained but unrestored underneath and the refreshed interior is gorgeous. A mostly fantastic Gullwing in unusual but attractive colors.

Market commentary

Offered by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2010 where it was a no-sale at a reported bid of $470,000, then sold by RM in New York in 2013 for $1,265,000. The odometer has added 15 miles since then and this is a realistic price for a Christmas-color themed Green over Red Gullwing.
