Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

265/225hp, dual quads, 3-speed, WonderBar radio, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls.

Condition

Originally a 265/205hp single quad GE-code engine. Good older paint, chrome interior and top. Thin windshield frame trim chrome and cracked, stiff windshield gasket. Road grimy chassis. A sound but aged and driven old restoration. Its claim to fame is that in 1987 Zora Arkus-Duntov selected it for a Lion Award at Meadow Brook, signed by Zora and exhibited at a Duntov tribute SAE meeting later the same year.

Market commentary

That distinction has worn off, as well as the glint of the 20-year old restoration and the seller should be very satisfied to get this much for it.
