331/255hp, automatic, power steering and brakes, power windows and bench seat, pushbutton radio, Highway HiFi, slotted gold wheel covers, bias ply whitewall tires, dual outside mirrors and rear antennas.

Dry, surface rusted underbody. Sound but sloppy old repaint dotted with dust. Good chrome with some scuffs. Sound interior and top. Good dash and gauges. Represented as a factory built Pace Car replica with build card documentation. A presentable driver quality cosmetic restoration.
Market commentary
Despite the disappointing Earl Scheib paint job this is a rare and distinctive DeSoto (any DeSoto is rare these days, but this Pace Car is definitely distinctive.) The price it brought hardly allows for its paint's shortcomings to be corrected and it is best driven and displayed before starting to spend money on it, a process that may have no end in sight once it is begun.
