Equipment
Hubcaps, cast headlight guards, bumper overriders, coupe seats, Kardex documented.
Condition
Put away in 1975 with the top up, includes side curtains and the original upholstery. Original engine and gearbox, new carburetors. Dirty, dusty but probably recoverable original paint, sound, stiff, original upholstery. Rusty battery box and one bubble in the back of the right front fender. Clean, crisp gauges. Crusty engine compartment. A sound, complete barn find that runs but doesn't stop.
Market commentary
We thought 83643 sold by RM at Hershey last month for $341,000 was a staggering result but it turns out that only set the stage for this one, effectively twice as much. It will require less (but not much less) work to make this one shine but, as some sage noted at Hilton Head, 'when restored it'll be worth $400,000.' The logic of this result is thoroughly obscure.
