Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Covered headlights, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Pirelli P4000 blackwall tires. Good older paint, chrome and interior. Scarred wheel rims, right sill repaired. Done ten years ago by Wayne Sparling and toured since. Mr. Sparling was right there to show off the car throughout the preview, an impressive endorsement of the car by the man who restored every piece of it.

Market commentary

The combination of the covered headlights and Wayne and Lorene Sparlings provenance set this Cab II up for a premium price. Its restoration is no longer fresh, but everything works and has been exercised for years to demonstrate its competence. It is no trailer queen and that alone commends it to its next owner who paid a modest but reasonable price for the confidence with which it can be used.
