About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

An older restoration to showroom condition represented to have 24,918 miles. No mirrors in the fender housings but other than that impossible to fault. Represented as the original engine and carburetors. Darn near as nice as it was in 1993.

Market commentary

Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 1993 for $40,000 and trotted across the desert to the Kruse Scottsdale auction a week later but unsold for a reported bid of $44,000. Those were the days. Superbirds were the rage a few years ago, then slipped from view after monstrous prices made them all but unaffordable. They've recovered recently, as this transaction bears out, but not enough to satisfy the consignor even at this generous bid.
