Equipment
389/318hp Tri-Power (added to the original 389/287hp 2-barrel engine during restoration), automatic, power steering, power brakes, pushbutton radio, 8-lug wheels, whitewalls.
Condition
Indifferent old paint, cracked steering wheel rim, fair chrome, sound interior, good cloth top. Engine compartment is aged even though the engine itself has been cleaned up for the auction. Cosmetically and perhaps mechanically updated as needed to maintain it in good driver condition.
Market commentary
Sold in 2011 at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach for $31,900, then in 2012 at Auburn Fall for $29,150. Those were much more realistic results than the generous price paid here at St. John's. The seller should be overjoyed.
