Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Body color wheels, blackwall tires, luggage, belly pans, tilt steering wheel, Becker LeMans radio. Good recent repaint. Very nice origil interior with surface creases and matching luggage. Water stained origil headliner. Decent chrome. Clean engine in superficially painted compartment. Underbody repainted over chipped old paint. Good gauges. Dash bright trim scratched, particular under ignition switch. A mixed presentation car that shows regular care and maintence but also more than a few oversights. A good driver thats not likely to be especially satisfying. Hard to figure.

Market commentary

This is an intriguing Gullwing. Not by any standard one of the best but highly origil and well maintained. The buyer paid full retail and then some for it, but may in the long run have gotten an exceptiol value in a largely origil, lightly molested Gullwing driver that offers a largely unexperienced driving experience these days. A reasobly value, Id say.
