About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Stored for 32 years. Very good original paint, surface creased but sound and not cracked or pulled original upholstery. Sound chrome but pitted door posts. Dry original underbody. Right door and front fender are lightly dented and scraped.

Market commentary

Even discounting the originality this is a surprisingly modest price for a sound and complete 300C. For one that is so well preserved it is a bargain. The damage -- which appears to be recent and may have occurred during shipping to the auction -- detracts from its condition and repairing it may compromise the originality but the damage may be remediated with suction cups, polishing compound and careful touchup. If it can this will be a $50K+ car with only a small originality premium.
