About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

A recent cosmetic restoration. Paint is showing flaws in the prep work. Brightwork has plenty of scuffs, dings and scratches. Panel fit looks good. Engine could use cleaning and detail. Underneath has been undercoated. Interior has new carpet, everything else showing wear. Driver condition in its current status.

Market commentary

It can be easy for owners to see #1 cars go from $90K to $230K and draw the conclusion that their $40K car is now worth north of $100K, but that isn't the case yet. The biggest movement has been for impeccably restored cars, while smaller (but still significant) changes have occurred below. Bid was absolutely correct.
