About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as two owners and 42,553 miles, replacement engine. Stored with a blown engine from 1965 until 2011. Very good paint, bright chrome and stainless, good original interior. The engine compartment is like new.

Market commentary

Very thoughtfully and thoroughly presented and the replacement engine is more the norm than the exception for these avidly thrashed runners. This is a strong car, sympathetically and thoroughly done and is a sound value at this price early in Saturday's auction where the pickings are often good.
