Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Black side exhausts, paperclip rollbar, Halibrand magnesium centerlock starburst wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak rear tires, Power Cushion fronts. 42 gallon tank, original wheels and tires, full weather equipment. One owner from new and just 3,871 miles. Good repaint in the original color, otherwise original and very clean and orderly. A rare and very desirable time capsule.

Market commentary

Reported sold in January 2009 at the Rupp auction in Ft. Lauderdale for $3,500,000, $3,780,000 with commission but apparently the buyer, who was present there and bought several other important lots, returned to Greece and never sent the money. Considering that the reported price was something close to 3 times the expected value. Its result here went the other way at barely half the low estimate and is a great value, not to mention a great disappointment to the seller.
