About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Frame-off restoration. Paint is very good with only a few blemishes. Panels fit very well. Brightwork has some scratches. Engine compartment needs a thorough clean and detail. Chassis is very clean. Interior has been kept up well. Overall a looker.

Market commentary

Well short of the going rate, and on the lower end of the 12 baby birds available in Indy. Not necessarily deservedly so, either. More than anything this car's white paint job probably capped it's appeal, but only because it was so easily compared to Easter egg cars.
