About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restored by Bill Fuenfhausen, good paint, straight body with some minor trunk alignment issues and well-fitted top. Excellent chrome, correct engine compartment and attractive interior. A well-done, very attractive car.

Market commentary

The problem with the Baby Birds is that they don't speak to younger generations in the same way they do to their current owners. The good news for buyers is that this will cause prices to gradually slide to where young buyers can afford them, which will then change the conversation. We're not there yet, but we are on our way.
