Hagerty expert commentary

Our staff has reviewed this vehicle. Here are our notes.

Equipment

2,953/240hp, 4-speed, two tops, covered Marchal headlights, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Cinturato HS tires, carburetor velocity stacks, chrome front fender vents.

Condition

Unfilled holes on top of the rear fenders behind each door. Very good paint, chrome and upholstery. Tiny amounts of overspray on the rubber grommet at the top of each door. Excellent engine compartment with only a little oily residue on the sump and frame on the right side. Far from pristine, but beautiful.

Market

California Spiders can be eight figure cars, but this example leaves much to be desired and is seriously and appropriately marked down for its mediocre condition. Monterey 2022, and particularly RM Sotheby's, brought wonderful cars that hadn't seen the light of day in decades in to the limelight. This is a good example, and a good value in a covered headlight Cal Spider.
