About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

An original, single-family owned car. Paint has scratching, chrome is pitted, interior is faded and worn with cracks in the dash. An interesting, well-preserved car with equally interesting history.

Market commentary

The Camelot connection helped this car, but these are very complicated and expensive to restore. This was a #3 car that sold for a #2+ price and the seller wisely lifted his reserve. However with less than 20,000 miles it should be an excellent driver to be enjoyed as long as the buyer can afford 10 mpg.
