Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Luggage, belly pans, tilt rdi steering wheel. Good older paint, interior and chrome. Clean but not like new underhood. Seat coverings stretched but sound. A good older cosmetic restoration (origilly Black over Red) in sound and usable condition and nicely equipped. Daniel Snyder Collection.

Market commentary

Reported sold by Christies at Pebble Beach in 2001 from the Pat Ryan Collection for $265,500 and apparently unused since with only 200 additiol miles on the odometer but also showing the passing four years. This is a premium price, for a less than premium Gullwing.
