Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Sport camshaft, Becker AM FM, belly pans. Old, touched up paint and tired origil () interior but only 3,500 miles on a full Paul Russell mechanical rebuild and underhood dressup and polishing. Doesnt look great but should run like Jack the Bear. An ideal Gullwing for tours.

Market commentary

This is a tightrope walk between the aged appearance and excellent mechanical condition. For someone who wants to get out on the road and enjoy the Gullwing experience without worrying about stone chips and bird strikes this is perfect, and it brought an appropriate price.
