About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good paint, chrome and interior. Thoughtfully modified as it would have been in the Sixties. Clean, orderly and ready to run.

Market commentary

Unfortunately, there were no representations made of this fabulous Pontiac's correct original configuration, so just about all of its 421/421hp dual quad 4-speed presentation is discounted to made-up. Still, anything approaching the reported high bid should be seen as a gift for a car that will make a stand-up presentation on any cruise night. Anyone appreciating America Muscle will see this as a great drive. It couldn't be duplicated for anything close to this money and would have been a great buy at the high bid, or even a little more.
