Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome cam cover and air box, no radio, Solex carbs. Represented as a $42,000 restoration, it is badly flawed. Paint crazing, sanding scratches show. Poor door fits, no ID plate. Chassis looks ignored but engine is clean.

Market commentary

This car needs to come apart and go back together with some care and craftsmanship. Its worth no more than the amount bid, which is generous considering the negligent workmanship and likely latent defects. A sympathetic buyer wont be found at auction.
