Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Painted wheels, Michelin X blackwall tires.

Restored like new with very good paint, chrome, interior and top. Clean engine compartment essentially like new, including the weeping Solexes. Fairly magnetic body. Reported to be the original engine, replacement transmission.

Market commentary

Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2003 for $73,440 and probably better than it was then, along with being reunited with its original engine. The work since last sold totaled at least $36,000 according to receipts with the car; the rest of the $170K value increase is all up to what has happened to 356s in the last decade and then some.
