Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Gold flecked brown carpet, radio, pushbutton automatic, P W, P bench seat, Benrus clock in steering wheel hub, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, dual rear antennas, P B, P S, 345 345hp Hemi with dual quads. Once was beyond perfect but no more. Engine paint is blistered and peeling with coolant and fuel leaks. One or two minor cosmetic issues but paint, chrome, upholstery and top are great. No Reserve.

Market commentary

A rare and quite wonderful example of mid 50s Mopar muscle with some of the most egregious fins ever seen. The older restoration is pretty remarkable, too, and needs only some detailing, particularly in the engine compartment, to be once again show quality. It should be an AACA winner and is well bought at this price.
