Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

383/350hp, dual quads, pushbutton automatic, power steering, power brakes, pushbutton radio, power windows, gold wheel covers, whitewalls, swivel driver's seat.

Condition

Very good paint, interior and top. Weak window frame chrome with some pits. Orderly underbody is nearly like new. Well restored to high standards a while ago, showing some age but little use.

Market commentary

The last of the sequence of three Adventurer convertibles, with a restoration that is a little more aged than the previous two but still a futuristic 'Forward Look' design that will never lack for attention. It brought a reasonable price consistent with its features, performance, design and rarity.
