Equipment
Chrome spoke Borranis, Michelin X blackwalls, P W, no radio, A C. Decent repaint, good chrome and interior. Old undercoat painted over on chassis. Engine done nearly like new in 2009 at HESCO in Birmingham, Alabama. A clean and very presentable driver. Paint cracked at base of windshield posts. Represented as factory air conditioned, today it has a Japanese rotary compressor which is both reliable and efficient if not correct.
Market commentary
Reported sold at Russo and Steele in Monterey in 2008 for a very healthy $162,250 and extensively tended to in its complex and expensive mechanical guts since then, the current price is way out in front of the leading edge of Queen Mother values. Maybe the bidders thought it was a GTC You cant pay too much, only too soon applies in this case but it will take years (if not decades) to catch up with this result.
