About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Fiberglass pattern shows through an otherwise sound repaint. Good chrome, very good interior and freshly refinished steering wheel. Engine compartment is orderly but showing age. Underbody is original and dirty. Cosmetically restored to sound, usable condition.

Market commentary

Unusual to say the least, many people have trouble with the low grille of the SP250's body which a few compare with the mouth of a catfish. Its attributes, however, are the willing 2.6-liter V-8, the rot-resistant properties of the fiberglas body and its rarity. The latter three things, augmented by sound if not show-ready condition, fully support the price this example brought in Las Vegas.
