About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Ordered new by Erwin Goldschmidt and retained for more than forty years by him and his son Anthony. Featured in several publications and often displayed. Restored in 1977 and carefully maintained since, earning a Gold award at Cavallino in 2006, then restored again for the present owner in these colors. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Restored like new, fresh and sharp.

Market commentary

Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2012 for $2,150,000 s/n 3949SA was showing the age of its 70's restoration, condition that is completely reversed by the fresh Dennison International restoration. In the process the color has been changed from Rosso Cina over black leather to the present livery which looks marvelous. The odometer has added 1,226 miles to its count. It was modestly estimated by RM and the bidders made the decision to blow the estimate into the weeds, just like this 340hp Superamerica would blow pretty much anything elso on the road in 1962 into the weeds. Expensive but beautiful and ready to show with pride and confidence.
