About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Super 90 reoresented to be matching numbers. Porsche CoA. Represented with mechanical attention this year, including a new clutch and rebuilt carbs, but only enough to get it across the auction block. Barn find condition, dust and all. Scratched and scraped original paint that is rubbed through in spots. Pitting on the hub caps. Ripped up passenger's seat and discolored carpets, plus discoloration and some water stains on the door handles. Clear bright gauges, but the bezels are pitted. Not pretty underneath but there is no major rust to speak of. There are not many barn finds like this left, so it's neat to see but not for the faint of heart to restore, even though it's all there.

Market commentary

Gooding typically does well with barn finds, often the dustier the better. That 'just discovered' allure worked again with this car, and it achieved a price that a sound restored example would normally expect to bring.
