Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Good interior. Thin repaint with rust pits in rear fender valleys, some pitted chrome. Potentially a good car, but a superficial presentation that calls the package into question. Is there a Peacock or a Piggy in this Poke

Market commentary

Todays market rewards no stories cars with good money and seriously penalizes anything thats at all doubtful. This Gullwing was doubtful, and the price is accordingly below the current $175,000+ range.
