Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Condition

Fog lights, 4-speed, original multi-band radio. Good interior wood. Other than that a pretty mediocre presentation for a car like this. Orange peel on the hood and fender, some thin chrome, decent older interior. Overspray inside wheel wells and on the old undercoat on the chassis. Thick paint appears to have been applied over old paint. An older and not very impressive cosmetic restoration.

Market commentary

Most 300Sc Roadsters are restored to beyond perfect so considering this car's condition the seller should be very satisfied with the price it brought. That shouldn't be interpreted as implying the buyer paid too much, however. The result was fair to both.
