About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint, interior, chrome and engine compartment. Holding up very well. Once seized by DEA and sold in a sealed bid auction, updated to S/C specs by Lister Restorations in the early 1990s and essentially unused since.

Market commentary

A colorful history but not punctuated by notable damage or misuse. Offered at Barrett-Jackson in 1992 where it no-saled at $275,000, sold by Mecum at Indy in 2010 for $662,500 in comparable condition to its appearance today. It has 97 more miles on the odometer now than it did in 2010, which accounts for the careful preservation and quality appearance. The S/C upgrades don't add to its value, but make it a lot more menacing.
