About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Previous owner started to restore it years ago and never finished. Very little Bondo under the primer. Said to run well and shows no evidence of floor or wheel well replacement. Engine compartment tidy but old and dirty. New gas tank, windshield, engine freed up and tuned, new tires on cleaned up original wheels. Definitely has potential (and that's about all it has.)

Market commentary

Consignment 1130. It looks like its pretty much all there and it probably won't take much if any more than it's worth to complete the restoration. The price paid puts an emphatic floor under Speedster values as this car basically needs everything before it can be shown. Heck, it needs a whole lot before it can even be driven.
