Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Briggs Cunningham team car, 1963 Le Mans driven by Augie Pabst and Walt Hansgen (dnf), raced at Elkhart Lake (Hansgen/Paul Richards, 11th overall) and Bridgehampton (Richards, 4th overall), then retired. Restored by Richard Freshman in the 1980's, vintage raced thereafter. Original bodywork and aluminum block engine, thoroughly documented. Chipped old paint, lightly worn upholstery. An honest old racecar.
Market commentary
Sold here five years ago in 2017 for $8,000,000 in a post-block transaction and apparently unused since then. A famed, but unsuccessful, example of Jaguar competition history, probably more valuable as a member of the Cunningham team than for its race track performances. Is it worth more than this, which would be almost $7 million with commission? It's a stretch, even for a collector with a strong attachment to the Cunningham legend and who was in any case among the missing here at Quail Lodge.
