About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Lightly scratched chrome. Two huge gouges out of the rear wheel cover. Door fit is slightly off. Sound older paint with a chip on the left side of the hood edge. Window moulding is cracked a bit. Paint is flaking off the wheels. Used but sound engine bay and undercarriage. An older restoration that's past its prime.

Market commentary

A Mecum regular, offered at Dallas last September where it was bid to $62,000, then at Chicago in October and bid to $62,500. Sold at Kissimmee in January for $65,000 hammer, $70,200 with commission and rerun on Kissimmee Sunday bid to $60,000. How the new owner thinks there's anything left after all this machination is inexplicable. It's a $60,000 car and should sell when a realistic bid is made for it.
