Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Body off restored 100 miles ago with the Red Ram Hemi added at some point instead of the original Polyspherical 315. Front trim is coming loose on the right side. Little bit of orange peel underneath the windshield. Otherwise excellent paint, chrome, interior and underneath. Gorgeous, interesting truck that's been given the kind of treatment that plenty of more dignified cars don't even get to enjoy. Even more appealing in pretty colors and as a standout from the Ford and Chevy crowd.
Market commentary
Evidence would question the assertion it has been 100 miles since it was restored. Back in 2010 RM sold it from John O'Quinn's collection in essentially the same condition it is in today with 140 fewer miles on the odometer for $61,600. Five years before that, in 2005, it sold at Russo and Steele in Scottsdale for $59,940 with 233 fewer miles. It sold here in 2011 for $62,700. This is the lowest price in over a decade, but it's not getting any better with age even if practically no miles have been added. More rare than a Cameo Carrier, for no more money.
