Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Polished alloy wheels. Headliner sags in places. Excellent older restoration now showing some use but still very presentable. Sidenote: The French catalog description aptly calls this car a papillon, butterfly, not a Gullwing.

Market commentary

Even good Gullwings like this example seem to be stalled at $200,000 give or take $20,000 and are a purchase well worth considering at these levels. Despite all the DeLoreans and others that emulate the Gullwing doors, theres only one real thing.
