Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Decent paint with a few scattered scratches. Dull, scratched and pitted brightwork throughout. The engine compartment is old and grungy. The undercarriage is dull with a partially replaced exhaust. The interior is old and dull as well. A mostly original car showing 91,827 miles. Its condition isn't quite as bad as the mileage and the 46 years of age might suggest, but it is tired and in need of freshening up.
Market commentary
After getting a high bid of $22,000 here a year ago and a bid of $20,000 at Auburn Fall last September the seller had realistic expectations here, and the buyer was able to get a relatively rare 428 CJ-powered Torino for a price that leaves enough cash to put a serious dent into the car's several cosmetic needs.
