Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wheels, hubcaps, blackwall tires, no radio. Excellent paint, chrome, interior and top. Restored to like new condition six years ago and shows very little use or age. Represented as a matching numbers 1500.

Market commentary

Sold by RM in Monterey in 2006 for $137,500, with the steady increase in Speedster values its understandable why the consignor declined the high bid and took the car home for another try at the $175,000 or so its worth. At the low estimate here in St. Johns it would be a very good value.
