About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good repaint and interior. Minor bright trim pieces have scratches. Underbody is clean and dry but not restored. Doors and hood fit flush and line up well. Steering wheel held on the hub with mismatched screws. Engine compartment has been done but driven and is oily with leaky carbs. A car with potential or just a realistic weekend driver.

Market commentary

A highly appreciated model, but this car was nevertheless shunned by the Greenwich bidders and the seller might want to consider taking a more realistic price.
