About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint and chrome. Light wear to the seats. Lightly used engine bay and underbody. Not a show car, but good enough to be proud of.

Market commentary

It was bid to $1M at Mecum Indy in 2015, then sold for $950,000 hammer, $1,045,000 with commission, at Mecum Monterey in 2016. It showed up at Mecum Las Vegas last year where it was a $925,000 no-sale. The bidders don't seem to think that the automatic's rarity translates to any kind of value no matter what the venue, and certainly not a 7-figure bid.
