Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

331ci V8 Hemi, automatic transmission, P S, P B, P W, chrome wire wheels, push button radio. Only 724 manufactured. An older body off restoration done to Meadow Brook standards and still stunning. Excellent panel fit and body, flawless paint, sharp chrome. Interior shows some minor wear but still is nearly showroom quality. Chassis and engine like new.

Market commentary

A rare bear, the fire engine red paint and red leather interior combines perfectly to create a head snapping whiplash effect. The transaction was fair for buyer and seller.
