Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual quads, automatic, dual outside mirrors, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, pushbutton radio, dual rear antennas.

Condition

Excellent paint, chrome, interior and glass. A fresh, sharp restoration to better than new. Even the window pockets are sharp, crisp and clean. An extraordinary rare car with 82,494 miles from new.

Market commentary

This is an exceptional example, one of only ten known to survive out of 300 convertibles built, not only on account of its rarity and flashy 'Forward Look' design but also because of the absolutely impeccable restoration. It is a very good value at this price and could have brought $50,000 more without being irrationally expensive.
