About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Original US market car. Used in most of the premier US vintage driving events. There are some overbuffed spots in the paint on the hood and nose, and there are several paint chips on the front, but the finish still looks very good from even a short distance. Lightly aged chrome. Clean wheels and tires. Lovely interior with slightly stretched leather. An honest event car that still presents well enough and seems to have plenty of life left in it.

Market commentary

Hammered not sold at $1.3M on the block but it quickly disappeared from Mecum's website so it's unclear what happened.
