Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

426/425hp, 4-speed, Yellow steel wheels with hub caps, Polyglas GT tires, shaker hood, hood pins, A34 Super Track Pak, 4.10 Sure Grip, heavy duty radiator, power front disc brakes, power top, black vinyl boot cover, remote driver mirror, Rallye instrument

Condition

One of five. Very good, mostly spotless but not immaculate engine bay. Black overspray at the back edge, right under the hood. Some more overspray at the bottom of the radiator. Trunk gaps are a bit off. Excellent paint and chrome. Very good interior. Very good, very fast and very rare. Not 10/10 perfection, but more than good enough and these are too scarce to be picky.

Market commentary

Not appreciably different in kind or quality from the '71 'Cuda Hemi convertible sold a few lots before but bought for $375,000 more on the hammer, confirming the resurgence of these rare, but seriously over-engined, cars and resetting the benchmark only a few minutes old at a new level.
