Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good aged repaint and body showing no notable damage or deterioration, the headlight bezels have some pitting, the side trim is dull and pitting and the windshield trim has some scrapes and gouging. The engine compartment is noticeably aged and the underbody shows noticeable use, auction notice discloses the car will need brake and shifter work to be roadworthy. The chrome grab handle on the driver side is peeling, the gauges are aged and dull although the seats do not show significant wear. An old restoration that needs plenty of attention to be show worthy. William M. Wonder collection.
Market commentary
This is a neglected old Gullwing but has been preserved with its many factory performance options and has never been subjected more intrusive attention than a repaint, new upholstery and mechanical attention. That earned it a superior price here at the Pebble Beach auction despite its age and lack of attention in recent years. It is expensive but it also is a rare Gullwing variant.
