Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome center, polished rim wheels, blackwall tires, Euro headlights. Excellent new paint, chrome, upholstery, glass and carpets. Underneather it looks like an older restoration to like new with some miles showing on the underbody, and the Colorado Grand stickers on the fenders.

Market commentary

This car was disappointingly presented in 2004 when RM sold it in Monterey for $209,000. Since then new paint and upholstery have brought it back closer to its potential but the lack of quality of the earlier restoration still shows through. The seller did very well at this price. The buyer got an excellent tour car.
