About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The doors aren't quite flush with the body. Excellent paint. Straight roof vinyl. Excellent interior. Restored in 2002 to high standards and used very little since. Represented as matching numbers and documented with original window sticker, broadcast sheets, IBM and warranty cards.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Ft. Lauderdale in 2007 for $529,200 at the height of Hemi-madness, then by Mecum at Indy in 2009 for $318,000 as the madness tapered off. It brought $363,000 at RM's Art of the Automobile in NYC in 2013 and it has only done 72 miles since, bringing the total to an impressively low 16,431. This is very strong money even for such a fine car with the rare 4-speed. At least for this car, though, prices haven't yet caught up to pre-Recession levels, but they're gaining.
