About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Sold new to movie director Howard Hawks. Mechanically overhauled recently at Paul Russell's. Flawed paint on the hood and cowl and cracked on the left rear hood corner. Good, lightly stretched older upholstery. Very clean underbody. Engine compartment is orderly on top but oily and grungy down deep.
Market commentary
Reported sold at the Rick Cole auction in Monterey last August for $1,595,000. The reported high bid here is more appropriate for its condition.
