About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Stored nearly 40 years until 2006 then resuscitated and driven for three years. Partially restored about 2010 by M-B Classic Center. Good but older paint and chrome. Very good interior. Clean underneath. Not done yesterday but in essentially like new condition, desirably equipped and finished in great colors.

Market commentary

Bought for a price appropriate to its history, originality and appearance, a car that took a four decade nap and since then has been well cared for.
