About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Impressive bare aluminum body with nearly invisible seams. New bare steel tubing braced driver's paperclip rollbar. Dirty wheels. Raced when new by Ernst Vogel in and around Austria with unimportant results. New body panels and no mention of the engine's originality.
Market commentary
There were three Porsche 550's in Monterey. Gooding's 550 sold for $4,455,000. RM's 550A sold for $4.9 million. This hybrid went begging.
