Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, woodrim steering wheel, wood shift knob.
Condition
From the RPM collection. Very good paint and new chrome. Clean wheels. Nearly spotless underbody. Very good interior with a clean, fresh-looking wood dash. Fully restored engine bay with few signs of any use at all. No corners cut at all on his restoration, which is rare on a traditionally budget sports car like the GT6. This is the nicest one I've ever seen in person.
Market commentary
GT6s are like a 2/3 scale, less attractive E-Type or a cooler and rarer MGB GT with two more cylinders, depending on if you're a glass half empty or glass half full type of person. They've been inexpensive for years but have started to catch on recently, although this price is well ahead of the curve. It's a record price for a GT6 road car by a fairly wide margin. Only the ex-Group 44 championship winning 1969 race car, which sold in Monterey 2012 for $55,000, is more expensive.
