About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as a runner but the brakes don't work. Missing left rear hub cap. Faded paint with surface rust showing through the cracks and chips. The top is ripped at the back and has no rear window. Significant rust at the bottom of the doors and sills. Bad interior. Rough but complete engine bay. A barn find, but not a particularly good or enticing one.

Market commentary

It will take a lot blood, sweat, tears and dollars to get this car fully redone, and it will probably never be worth enough to recoup the restoration costs. Its fate may be as a parts car for which this is appropriate money.
