About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Owned for many years by Hoagy Carmichael, later by his son. Restored in the early 2000s, shown at Pebble Beach in 2001 and winner of Best in Show at Amelia Island in 2003. An older show-quality restoration with superb paint, chrome, interior, dash and gauges. The only knock might be an odd greenish tinge to the leather. Underhood is like new. Front seats are lightly stretched.

Market commentary

Only four Dual-Ghias have sold for all-in prices over $300,000, and this is the only one over $400,000, a price its celebrity history -- although most Dual-Ghias have celebrity histories -- and beautifully preserved restoration richly deserved.
