Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Decent paint overall, but there is some dirt in the paint throughout and some bubbling from poor final prep. There is some filler in the rear quarters behind the wheels. The repair looks good and is not bubbling but it's there. Upon opening the hood there was some difficulty opening it as the hood hinges are worn out. The bumpers are straight but original and unrestored showing some patina. Dull window trims. The front windshield glass is original but starting to delaminate and cloud. Unrestored underneath and there is overspray on the frame. The floorboards are rust free, and a fairly recent dual exhaust has been installed. Mostly original interior other than a new headliner and carpet. The engine is reported to have been rebuilt. It is not fully restored under the hood but looks well maintained with a new alternator, voltage regulator, radiator hoses and the A/C compressor looks new. A decent driver.
Market commentary
Rather unappealing, this Hurst 4-4-2 may be a better car than its upfront appearance. That made no difference to the Kissimmee bidders who turned their backs on it.
