About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Finish is older and a little dull. Lots of blisters on the right front fender. Very good bumper chrome. The rest of the brightwork is lightly pitted, and there is a big dent in the rear fender trim. Unrestored but tidy underneath. Good older restored interior. A cosmetic restoration with single repaint, a decent driver, but nobody's pride and joy.

Market commentary

An unusual and nicely equipped Pontiac from the days before the marque became noted for performance and was a fairly dull, chrome striped progression along GM's aspirational path from Chevys to Cadillacs. It is of little note, having received the cosmetic restoration that is if anything more than its limited value can support. The result is appropriate for the car.
