Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Market commentary

This restoration dates to the very early 90s before it was offered by Christies at Pebble Beach in 1992 (a no sale at a high bid of $60,000.) It was sold by RM in Monterey in 2006 for $123,750 in essentially the same condition in which it was presented in Indianapolis. The sellers expectation has ramped up significantly, although the reported high bid should have been enough, if not more than enough, to see it change hands.
