Equipment
289 crate engine, 4-barrel, automatic, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, manual steering and brakes, CD stereo.
Condition
Originally a 200/120hp six. Poor repaint over old paint with chips and scratches. Weak chrome. Sound upholstery and interior trim except for two small tears in the driver's seatback. Unrestored chassis and underbody. Cracked steering wheel rim. Orderly engine in a tired mostly original engine compartment. Static displayed many years in the Petitjean Collection and will need thorough recommissioning.
Market commentary
The bidders here either didn't know it was a re-engined six or didn't care to pump it up to this price, a car that wouldn't bring $10,000 in the States.
