About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Invoiced to Ford's Jacques Passino and used as a Ford demonstrator, later stolen, then recovered. Good paint, chrome and interior. Orderly and very clean underhood. Restored to showroom condition with some subsequent use but still very clean. A desirable early rack-and-pinion car that must be exciting to drive with the big engine and Webers.

Market commentary

A somewhat fractured history, but attractively restored and presented with a glorious engine compartment with the Webers. The price it brought here is all the money for its history.
