About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Single owner for the last 32 years. Headlight bezels aren''t quite straight. Doors stick out a bit. Excellent newer paint and chrome. Very good mostly original interior with excellent wood and very light wear to the seats. Well kept underneath. Not perfect, but you wouldn''t kick it out of your garage and it''s still a fairly stunning automobile.

Market commentary

But nowhere nearly as stunning as the fastbacks, this notchback coupe is a handsome and rare car. It brought a handsome price.
