About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Last year for the baby bird. Paint looks very good. Brightwork looks beautiful. Panel fit is very good, but the trunk could use a little adjustment. Engine bay is very clean, with some signs of a small fluid leak near the distributor. Underneath is very clean with very little signs of wear. Interior looks very good with slight signs of wear on the driver's seat. No hardtop present or represented. Fully restored 10 years ago to high standards and lightly used since.

Market commentary

Hammered not sold at a $65,000 high bid at Mecum Kissimmee earlier this year. Both bids were light for such a good E-Code Thunderbird even taking the lack of a hardtop into account, but the seller decided to save the hassle of more auction trips and let it go. The new owner got a heck of a bargain, especially since the car has no apparent needs. It was offered at Kissimmee in January where it was reported bid to $65,000, a result consistent with what it brought here.
