Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Side-oiler motor, centerlock Halibrand alloy wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak tires, chrome side exhausts, chrome paperclip rollbar, four Webers on a Holman and Moody intake, quick jack pickups.

Condition

Restored in 2008 and still over-restored, show quality, showing exactly the same 30,181 miles on the odometer as it did in 2010.

Market commentary

Offered by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in 2002 (before restoration) and 2010 where it failed to find a new owner both times, then sold by RM in Arizona in 2011 for $643,500. This is an appropriate price today, but a car that will not suffer use without losing the edge of its over the top restoration and years of static display. It's more of an object than an automobile, having lost its rip-roaring soul in the pursuit of restoration perfection.
