Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wood rim steering wheel, knockoff disc wheels, fender mirrors. 17,231 miles. A quick but superficial new restoration, clean and sound but only in driver condition. Quick paint, good interior, clean chassis. Rushed to completion after many years in progress, this Twin Cam can only be characterized as tired and aged. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Despite its appearance the buyer here got a great value at this price. One prominent restorer (who regretted not buying it) remarked that the engine alone is worth $15,000. Given a decent shot at a timely (i.e., completed in less than ten years) restoration the buyer will have a real showpiece at a reasonable cost.
