Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Hubcaps, trim rings, whitewalls, Solex carbs, no radio.

Condition

Sound but superficial old repaint with corners not attended to and cracks under the windshield posts. Good upholstery but worn old carpet. Good chrome and new top. The engine has been redone but not the compartment it sits in. Cracked fuse box cover. Underbody repainted over old undercoat. A superficial, rushed old cosmetic redo.

Market commentary

Hastily restored to look good from 20 feet away, the closer you get the more issues appear and up really close they are myriad. The estimate range reflects a fully restored car, which this isn't, and even the reported high bid here is generous.
