Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
The Calypso Coral has chips scratches, repairs and rub through at several body lines. It has been extensively polished and most of the orange peel is gone. Chrome appears original and has some age. The wheels were recently polished. Engine bay is fair and shows some recent maintenance, but could use a detail. Interior is fair. The seats show age but the rest of the interior is quite good. A mostly original unrestored car showing 44,209 claimed original miles.
Market commentary
Sold at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in 2016 for $82,500, then offered at Motostalgia's Amelia Island auction in March of this year with a reported bid of $70,000 and at Auctions America in Ft. Lauderdale a month later with a bid of just $57,500. This is a rare, desirable color on a car with impressive originality and known miles. It was time for it to move on and the successful bidder was in the right place with the right checkbook balance and right frame of mind to pick up this good value.
