Equipment
Polished wire wheels, upgraded to a Tremec 5-speed (original 4-speed included), woodrim steering wheel, comes with JDHC Certificate.
Condition
A flat floor car that was originally painted red and sold in California, then restored by Classic Showcase in 2004. Excellent paint with straight body panels. The panel gaps are all consistent and the brightwork is very good throughout. The underbody is clean, although it does show some use. The interior has been completely redone, and the driver's seat has slight stretching from use. An excellent example with minimal time on the road.
Market commentary
Appropriately discounted for the age of its restoration and its incorrect (but objectively better) gearbox, this is a straightforward result that both parties can be satisfied with. It was sold to John O'Quinn in 2005 for $132,000 shortly after restoration and has added 4,578 miles to the odometer since then, miles that are essentially invisible in its presentation.
