Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

371 300hp J2 triple two barrels, automatic, WonderBar radio, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, P S, P B, pushbutton radio, skirts, padded dash, continental kit. Attractive older restoration with good paint, chrome and interior. Hood emblem shows grinder scratches under the new chrome. Passengers door fit is uneven. Underbody is very neat and nearly like new. Timed sale lot number at 3PM Saturday.

Market commentary

Sold at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in January for $84,700, the price here is much more reasonable, even taking into account the flaws in its restoration, all of them relatively easy to remedy. A convertible, it is a much better value than the other J2 sold this weekend, a Holiday hardtop for $77,000. This is what a convertible should bring.
