About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Scattered paint chips that have been repaired, scratched glass, cracked seals, underbody original, redone interior with the window trim loosely reinstalled. A fair cosmetic restoration that needs several minor fixes.

Market commentary

Like Fiat Jollys, 21-window buses occupy an interesting part of the market. At high line auctions, perfect restorations can hit six figures, while the same car can sell for two-thirds that amount at a different venue. As much a comment on the crows as it is about the car. Much to pay for a Samba with needs.
