About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented with new tires, shocks and exhaust. Unrestored but recently cleaned up engine bay. Sound original chrome. The beige parts of the paint aside from the hood are newer, but the rest of the paint is original and remarkably good. The original interior is fantastic. It shows 17,692 miles and looks like it. For someone to pamper and save a sedan is pretty unusual, and for a car to have held up this well in rust-prone Indiana (where it has been since at least 1980) is amazing. It also has recent mechanical work to boot.

Market commentary

Despite its 4-door configuration and the mundane 324/202hp engine this is a sweet old car with exceptional preservation and it does deserve a higher price, even if not even close to as much as the pre-sale low estimate. It has bragging rights at a $30,000 bid.
