Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rudge wheels, fitted luggage, rdi woodrim tilt steering wheel, Becker Mexico radio. First owner Clark Gable. 1995 restoration to like new condition and still sharp, if dusty. Peculiar numbers quoted in the sheets as 3500323.

Market commentary

A healthy price for a Gullwing, even as sympathetically restored as this one. Even with the Clark Gable history this would have been rich at $300,000.
