Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

396/325hp, 4-speed, wheel covers, US Royal red line tires, added air conditioning, power brakes, power windows, power top, bench seat, floor shift, pushbutton radio, rear seat speaker.

Condition

The engine number is too dirty to read, but the rest of the engine bay is tidy if fairly used. The paint finish is shiny but has some fisheyes in it. The top is older but good. There are chips around the edges of the trunk, which fits erratically and has a few small dents. The rest of the panel gaps are slightly uneven. The window frames are scratched up. Good interior with newer seats and carpets but sound original dash and steering wheel other than faded gauges. Older restored underbody. A car that's gotten restoration work but doesn't seem to have ever been fully taken apart. In better than average driver condition, but still a driver nonetheless.

Market commentary

This car was reported sold at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2016 for a paltry $10,175, then scored big time at Barrett-Jackson Northeast five months later $29,700. It was a no-sale here on Saturday as #2439 on a $23,000 high bid, then sold Sunday without reserve with this result.. All the results are reasonable for a car with this equipment and in this condition, and the higher Barrett-Jackson transaction can be chalked up to there simply being more bidders in the room in a new and high energy venue.
