About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Cracked steering wheel cap. Sound older paint. Driver's side door not quite flush. Very good interior. Tidy underneath. Originally white over red. Modified as a drag racer in the latter part of the 1960s. Restored to current presentation in the 1980s, date coded replacement engine, original transmission. Showing age but doesn't need anything major.
