About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Original bubble top is in mostly good shape but the gaskets are worn. Good paint other than a chip in the nose. The badge on the nose doesn't fit flush with the bodywork. Good interior. Restored, but to microcar standards.

Market commentary

Bought at B-J in Scottsdale in 2010 for the excessive sum of $44,000 then sold at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas last year for $28,600. In this condition t's not worth any more than the reported high bid and should have gone to a new home at this price.
