Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

371 J 2 three two barrels, automatic, P S, P B, P W, continental kit, Autronic Eye, skirts, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls, WonderBar radio. An attractive but well used older restoration, particularly the badly scuffed and scratched stainless door caps. Dusty chassis and underbody. Delaminating wind wing glass. Pitted speedometer bezel chrome. Good steering wheel. Good paint.

Market commentary

Viewed under this number but reported sold Sunday as U138 for the same hammer bid. Previously run at Worldwide Hilton Head where it was bid to $55,000. An attractive car, it really needs (and deserves) attention to its details. This price fully values the car and overlooks its many shortcomings. In other words, it is no bargain.
