Equipment
427/435hp L71, 4-speed, Rally wheels, narrow whitewalls, hardtop, side exhaust, F41 suspension, power brakes, tinted windshield, tank sticker, Protect-O-Plate.
Condition
The 14,565 miles showing are represented as actual and the engine is also represented to be the original. Drag raced in period and apparently the engine was rebuilt at some point. Clean, tidy and maintained underneath. Some chips and crazing on the hood but otherwise very good original paint. Good, lightly scratched original chrome. The rear window on the hardtop is a bit cloudy but not terrible. Fantastic original interior with clear gauges and clean switchgear. Desirable equipment and phenomenal preservation. This car ticks a lot of the right boxes.
Market commentary
Aside from an older engine rebuild, this car is totally original and you would think that would count for a lot, but this car has now crossed the block three times at similar high bids and it may be time to adjust some expectations. It hammered at Indy last year at a $160k high bid and at Las Vegas back in November at $140k. What's even more peculiar is that the reported high bid is $25,000 more than the low estimate.
