About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sound exterior repaint over old paint, recovered front seats, otherwise scummy, original and musty smelling but remarkably complete. Represented as the original engine, transmission and rear axle and three owners from new. Dry, original underbody.

Market commentary

Painted? Why? The caliber of the repaint is decent, but hardly exceptional, and it ruins the rest of the scuzzy originality of this LS6. With dirt and grunge bringing huge premiums this Chevelle is neither original nor maintained. It's just fouled up. Will the new owner sit on the mildewed seats surrounded by a miasma of musty, foul air? Not likely, so it's a restoration project that will have to be done completely, from top to bottom, inside and out and is significantly expensive at this price. Its appeal is in its intriguing possibilities, not in any rational consideration of the cost and effort entailed in realizing them.
