Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

327/350hp, 4-speed, radio delete, heater, body color wheels, hubcaps, bias ply blackwalls,

Condition

Excellent paint, straight body, new brightwork. The engine compartment has been meticulously redone as well as the underbody. The interior has been completely replaced. The engine does appear to have a re-stamped code and is described only as 'correct L79 components' and 'date correct engine, transmission and rear end'. A very well done restoration to better than new condition.

Market commentary

Sold here a year ago with three fewer miles showing on its odometer for $48,600. From the description it is impossible to conclude that this is the way it was originally built, but it has been done to high standards and brought a price that implicitly accepts this as its original configuration, if not the original bits. Now comes the hard question: Why buy a really good driving car, own it for a year, and only put on-and-off-the-block miles on it? Isn't it supposed to be about the driving experience?
