Equipment
312/270hp E-Code dual quad engine, automatic, power steering, power brakes, porthole hardtop and soft top, heater delete, wheel covers, whitewalls.
Condition
Full restoration in original colors finished in 2014. Paint looks very good with a few very small blemishes and marks from the hardtop. Brightwork looks very good with some small scratches. The old weather stripping was still used on the hardtop. Panel fit and gaps are slightly uneven but the panels are impressively flat. Engine bay is restored well and not over done. Underneath looks excellent with no signs of wear. Interior is all new. Driver's side inside door handle does not fit tightly. A sound restoration done 147 miles and a few years ago that would be showable at least on the local level.
Market commentary
Sold by Mecum in Houston in 2014 for $81,000, offered at Mecum Dallas last year with a high bid of $50,000 and at Indy earlier this year where it was bid to $60,000. The odometer shows 147 miles, 91 more than it showed at Indy in May. E-Birds are justifiably sought for both their performance and their style and this is not an expensive price to pay for one so well and thoroughly restored and maintained since it was completed. It was rerun on Sunday as lot #794 and reported sold there for $55,000.
