About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as the matching numbers engine and gearbox. Very good paint but carelessly applied exterior color in the wheel wells. Very good upholstery, dash and gauges, crisp chrome. Best in Class at Palos Verdes in 2013 and 2016 and at Los Angeles in 2009.

Market commentary

Offered by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in 2004 in largely original but well preserved condition with a reported high bid of $180,000, this is a vastly different car today, but still with some nagging flaws that detract from its otherwise concours presentation. The seller should be grateful to get this price.
