About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Clean, lightly run engine bay. Good older paint. The trim on the nose has a small dent and doesn't fit flush. Touch up on the right mirror. Very good roof vinyl. Very good restored interior. Fully redone to high but not excessive standards and quite a bit of money put into making lots of power while keeping a mostly stock appearance under the hood.

Market commentary

Cars like this can be a hard sell. It looks the part and is probably quicker than even a Hemi car, but serious collectors crave authenticity and/or originality, and this car doesn't have either. It hammered not sold here last year at a $54,000 high bid, but the seller got the message this time around and decided to let it go at a result that is fair to both parties but may give the seller pause before spending this much on modifications again.
