About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Some minor scratches on the tops of the fenders and door belt lines, and chips on the edge of the hood. Brightwork shows age and scratches. Some minor dimples and dings. Interior looks original and aged but well cared for no noticible tears or scratches. Chrome is bright, but starting to show some age. Clean but aged underbody. Gold side inserts have a few dings. A well done older restoration that has spent time in a museum.

Market commentary

The retracting roof mechanism of Skyliners is notoriously complicated and difficult to keep working but also the source of great pride when it is right. It takes so much attention that there's little time for the rest of the car, something that shows in the presentation of this one, and in the price it brought.
