#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Flawless better than factory paint. The chrome is show-ready, but the stainless trim still needs slight polishing. Panel gaps are near perfect. The underbody is well restored with no leaks. The engine bay is perfect and appears correct. The interior is flawless. With one owner until 2011 and restored to better than new standards.
Market commentary
Sold for $71,500 at Mecum Kissimmee in 2017, two years ago. It is impossible to fault this SS 396 convertible in any meaningful way. Except, that is, in the price it brought, which is a bit short of the six figures it should have brought. Thoroughly documented, stunningly presented and it might be only the "Mist Green" paint that deterred the WestWorld bidders. This is a prize showpiece. It isn't cheap, but it isn't expensive, either.
