About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Some paint touch-ups to both front and rear, stress cracks by the rear corners of the trunk lid. Spotted and worn brightwork where the convertible top rests, but otherwise strong. Clean and correct engine bay. Clear gauges, worn steering wheel, split seams on sun visors. Some wear to seats but new upholstery is lovely overall. Tidy undercarriage. A solid, largely original Comet with 91,919 miles on the clock.

Market commentary

And of course the 271hp K-Code hipo V8 under the hood. The new owner has a good chance of making a killing after fluffing it up some. It's bought right.
