Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Power steering, tissue dispenser, front bumper overriders, push button radio, heater, wheel covers, bias ply whitewalls, dual exhaust, leather upholstery, previously owned by Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio.

Condition

Meticulously restored in the original colors and materials and exhaustively documented with paper usually lost in the history of cars this old Very good paint, chrome and interior, detailed to very good standards and mechanically freshened with rebuilt brakes and a cleaned and reconditioned gas tank

Market commentary

Sold for $44,800 at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in 2010, then for $47,150 at Bonhams Scottsdale last August. The power steering is unusual and makes it much more enjoyable to drive, as does the 227 hp Pontiac V 8. Based on its history, presentation and rarity it is a sound buy at this price.
