Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
From the Dallas and Ammie Hawkins collection. Represented as the "matching numbers" engine. Paint looks very good other than some swirl marks throughout. Panel fit is very slightly uneven. Engine bay looks good with signs of light use since the restoration. Underneath is mostly clean other than signs of a leak on the transmission and exhaust. Interior looks good other than light wear on the driver's door panel. A lightly worn older restoration on a former California car, now in solid driver condition leaving it ideal for weekend drives and cruise-ins.
Market commentary
This result is appropriate for this Chevelle SS hardtop although a thousand dollars less bought the '64 GTO convertible (also Silver) that sold just before it. That's a differential that persists across all manufacturers' product lines with the less expensive cars that caught collectors' attention when they were young bringing generally more money in the collector car market than their more expensive (when new) counterparts.
