About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint with a couple of small chips. Very good chrome. Very good interior wood. Underbody slathered with sound deadener. Mostly even gaps. Straight body. Lightly worn seats in front. Bent radio antenna. Solid, pretty driver-quality car finished in unusual but pretty two-tone paint. One of just 1,066 220Ss built in 1957. Restored during 1995-1996 and shows light use since.

Market commentary

This was a $143,000 car at Gooding's Amelia Island auction in 2011 and evidences little or no improvement since then, not to mention just 309 more miles on its odometer. It must not have been a very rewarding experience and the consignor should be happy to make $27,000 (before commissions) on the exchange.
