About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint and chrome. Gorgeous wheels. The right rear bumper is about an inch and a half further out from the body than on the left side, which is very noticeable. Even gaps. Gorgeous restored interior with very light wear to the seats. Recently rebuilt fuel injection. The rear bumper issue and the odd choice of tires are odd, but the presentation is top notch for the most part.

Market commentary

Present but withdrawn from the 1992 Kruse Scottsdale auction where it showed 35,000 miles. Now restored again and showing 44,145 miles it has all the earmarks of a car that has been babied and had its needs met as they turned up. It is a realistic buy at this price.
