Equipment
Silver painted wire wheels, Pirelli Cinturato tires, fender mirror, Marchal headlights and grille-mounted fog lights.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Poor old partial repaint now chipped and flaking off in chunks. Cracked and torn original upholstery. Peeling original undercoat with exterior overspray. Peeling chrome. A restoration project but one represented to have its numbers-matching engine. Recently serviced to run, but not stop.
Market commentary
The bid here is a hefty premium for peeling paint and torn upholstery and the fact that the car will require extensive mechanical and cosmetic work even to be used in its present rather tattered condition before beginning an expensive restoration makes the high bid more than reasonable. This is a restoration project that will inhale six-figure money while probably never becoming a 7-figure car in constant dollars. The seller''s decision to keep it if there was money anywhere close to the reported high bid was unduly optimistic.
