Equipment
Blaupunkt multiband radio, steel wheels, hubcaps, Pirelli tires, Lucas fuel injection, dash clock.
Condition
Bad, shrinking, peeling old repaint over the original Burgundy. Sound but aged original interior and carpets. Weak chrome on the marker lights, peeling front bumper chrome, but good in the back. Oily and dirty but orderly engine. Road grungy chassis. Rust bubbles around the left rear wheel and under the right door. A complete car, but a complete restoration project.
Market commentary
Sold at Bonhams in Greenwich in 2014 for $176,000, then passed at Mecum Kissimmee three months ago on a reported $175,000 high bid, this is a car that needs everything. Market forces aligned with this transaction, but it's hard to find much upside at this price other than an expensive restoration that would make it a $300,000 car, and it will take far more than the difference between this price and that potential value to elevate this car to concours condition.
