Hagerty expert commentary

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

Equipment

2,953/240hp, 4-speed, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Dunlop SP Sport tires, Blaupunkt multiband radio.

Condition

Good repaint over old paint. Lightly stretched driver's seat upholstery. Clear gauges with crisp faces. The chassis is repainted assembled with chassis black, then hit with a coat of thin undercoat. Even panel gaps but the hood stands slightly proud. Good consistent chrome. Oscar Davis collection.

Market

This is not an extraordinary 250 GT Cab II, in fact, it's "just a car" with an older and well-maintained restoration. Most of us think of Oscar Davis in terms of obsessively restored concours-quality beautiful objects of automobile sculpture, but this and other Davis cars offered here this weekend show that he also appreciated good cars as, well, just good cars that didn't need the pebbles pried out of their tire treads to be appreciated for their lines, style, design and performance. This Cab brought appropriate money for its quality and condition, a sound value that is fair to Oscar Davis's estate and to the new owner.

Hagerty Condition Rating#2 ExcellentCould win a regional car show. Drives like new.
