Condition
One of six modified by George Barris with features like the headlights and hidden turn signals also featured on the L6.4s of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. This one was delivered new to Bill Van Grove. Very good paint. Two touched up chips on the front edge of the driver's side door. Passenger door fit is slightly off. Very good, lightly worn interior. A full restoration was finished in 2001 and a thorough mechanical servicing was completed last year. It's no longer a concours car, but it needs nothing serious and is still a fine example of the final chapter in the Dual Ghia saga.
Market commentary
RM got a milestone $412,500 for 0305, a freshly and magnificently restored L6.4 without the Barris kustom touches, in Arizona in January. By that standard this well-preserved older restored Ghia L6.4 could have brought over the low estimate and still not been unduly expensive. At this price it is a sound value even if the new owner has to spend a good sum to make up for hidden problems resulting from years of storage.
