Equipment
2,996/250hp, 4-speed, polished rim alloy wheels, Michelin tires, two tops, Euro headlights with stoneguards, fitted luggage, Becker radio.
Condition
Factory replacement aluminum block, 4-wheel disc brakes. Good paint but poor panel fits. Very good interior. Orderly restored engine compartment. Excellent chrome. But the uneven panel fits call the whole restoration into question.
Market commentary
Sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2014 in aged and neglected condition but highly original except for an old repaint. The price there was a generous $2,035,000. Subsequently restored (which cost far more than the $280,000 more it brought here even if the owner owned the shop and charged even an unburdened hourly rate). At essentially the same price here as eight years ago it is a sound value for the money in 2022 but not a good ROI for the seller. The will-o’-the-wisp of saving a neglected and scroungy barn find is nearly inevitably expensive.
