About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Well applied professional paint job with no outstanding flaws. Bumper chrome is very good. All brightwork is restored. Frame and underbody are undercoated. Engine bay is well detailed, but the dash is poorly prepped and heavily pitted under paint and has sun damage in the driver's side corner. Interior is otherwise well restored. Restored quite a while ago, and lightly enjoyed since.

Market commentary

This is a highly desirable convertible in colors that highlight both the design and the chrome. It also is an outstanding value even with the shortcomings of the restoration's age. Another $10 or even $15 thousand on top of the successful bid would not have been out of line.
