Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

390 325hp, automatic, pushbutton radio, P front disc brakes, P S. Quick, casual repaint with some dirt and plenty of orange peel for texture. Sprayed body color under the wheel wells then squirted with black chassis paint over it. Documented with Marti Report but not reassuring in its presentation. An auction car.

Market commentary

Thursday early. This Cyclone GT deserved better treatment than it got in the rush to capitalize on the Muscle Car craze and get it to auction. The consignor cut corners on the lot number, too, and paid the price, getting barely retail for it from the generally more astute bidders attending earlier in the days action.
