About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Grille frame doesn't fit evenly. Decent chrome. Average quality respray with a large chip right behind the driver's door. Paint coming off the door handles and the door panels are loose at the bottom. Several small scratches and cracks on the steering wheel. Hood sticks out at the bottom on the driver's side. Restored by a group of girls as a high school shop project and then featured in magazines. Everything is correct and while not perfect, it's certainly presentable and they did a way better job than most of us could have done in high school.

Market commentary

Sold at RM Scottsdale in 2007, after its restoration, for $23,100, then here in 2008 for $19,800. It now has 175 more miles today than it did in '08. Sold more on the story of its restoration than its condition, this was a fairly expensive way to get into a Bugeye.
