Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
A few chips and scratches on the nose, and fading around the door windows. Weather stripping is dry and cracked. Pitting on the door handles, and small scratches on the rear bumper. The interior looks very good other than a few cracks in the dash pad, and the plastic over the gauges is hazed a little. Engine compartment looks original, and there is some grease and grime at the bottom of the engine. Underneath looks to have fresh undercoating. A neat honest little driver, and it could be years before seeing another one.
Market commentary
It was remarkable to see a U.S. market early Corona like this in any kind of condition, and apparently the bidders were smitten with it because it brought an enormous price that was nearly up to RM's presale high estimate.
