About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Really bad, orange peeled respray. Dull, lightly scratched chrome. Fairly dull brightwork. Some light scratches in the wood trim and not all of it fits flush with the body. Very good newer upholstery. Dull, fairly worn original steering wheel. A rushed enthusiast restoration done in 2014 and not a great car.

Market commentary

The price of this Monterey station wagon says more about the popularity of wagons than it does about the relative value of this example. It is not a car to be proud of and would not have been a great value even at $22-25,000.
