Equipment
287/180hp, automatic, chrome wire wheels, Continental kit, air conditioning.
Condition
Paint is excellent with only a few very minor blemishes. The brightwork looks amazing. Panel fit is right on. The engine compartment is excellent and showing no signs of wear. Underneath looks just as good as above. The interior all looks new with the exception of the carpet, which could benefit from a good cleaning. An excellent, fresh-looking restoration.
Market commentary
Star Chiefs aren't particularly valuable, so the consignor likely has more money in this exacting restoration than the car is actually worth. It might be a tough pill to swallow, but the reported high bid was more than fair, even generous, and the offers aren't likely to get much higher.
