About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Possibly a promotional car used on the Bob Hope show, restored to showroom condition but for a little storage dust underneath.

Market commentary

Weighted down with options, the performance of this 440 Magnum is majestic at best, but still a car that can be enjoyed and appreciated in the more mellow environment of collector car cruises and tours. Put the top down on a fine day, then put up the top, raise the power windows and turn on the A/C for the drive back home in rain and cold. Today's collectors think in terms of today's cars with power assists and climate control for every circumstance and this is a viable and correctly presented alternative to an expensive Resto-Mod bought at a realistic price.
