Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borranis, steel body, outside plug 168 F engine, 12 port heads, single floors, aluminum bulkheads. First owned by The Today Shows Dave Garroway, to Terry King in 1967, disassembled and stored until 1998 then restored. Original color was mustard gold. Excellent cosmetics, runs like a train. Restoration is better than new but not overdone.

Market commentary

A beautifully presented car with an intriguing history. I had the opportunity to drive it recently and its tight, rattle free, tracks and brakes straight, sounds great and hauls. The price is right in there with other SWBs, making this a good value for the cars history, specification and presentation.
