Equipment
5-speed, silver steel wheels, hubcaps, Pirelli tires, clear windshield deflector.
Condition
Good new paint, chrome and interior. Underbody is older, painted assembled but orderly. Door fit is good except for hanging out a little at the bottoms. A workmanlike cosmetic redo of a car recently out of long term Japanese ownership.
Market commentary
Offered at Mecum's Monterey auction in August with a reported high bid of $120,000. The Sprint Speciale appeals for many reasons, not least its delightful, responsive chassis, strong engine and nearly show car caliber streamlined coachwork. Sprint Speciales' values were climbing strongly a few years ago but, if this result for a sound and usable example with fresh cosmetics is to be any guide, have tapered off dramatically.
