Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1,760cc 130hp 912 engine, front disc brakes, 12 volt electrical system, tonneau cover. Nice top w good plexi. Nice bucket seats. Wood steering wheel shows wear, especially the cracking on center emblem. All chrome shows a little wear, but looks good on the back. Tail light lenses are blacked out, w chrome bezels. Small scratches and fading in front bumper chrome. Passenger door a bit out of whack. Cracking rubber gasket around right headlight and trunk handle. An enjoyable driver.

Market commentary

In fact, this is probably a pretty exciting driver, with more than double power of the origil engine, better brakes and modern tires. It was bought for $143,000 at the Worldwide auction in Houston earlier this year. The seller may be looking for more (or perhaps just looking for nearly this much), but with the modifications its questioble whether the right buyer loaded with money and limited in experience will show up.
