About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Mostly original with a poor older repaint with microblisters. Repainted over edge chips. Old undercoat in the wheel walls. Sound body with uneven door fits. Lightly scuffed bright trim. Sound, presentable, well preserved and not too good to drive.

Market commentary

Sold for $112,200 at Barrett-Jackson WestWorld in 2012, followed by a price of $121,000 at Kissimmee four months ago, this Superbird has since gone on a journey in search of the right buyer, appearling at Motostalgia's Amelia Island auction in March where it no saled at a reported $115,000, Auctions America's Ft. Lauderdale sale where the bid was $90,000 and at Mecum's Houston sale just a week later where the bid was reported to be $95,000. The seller decided to stop giving it rides here in Indy and accepted this modest result in a post-block transaction. It is a manifestation of the fact that Superbirds have lost favor, particularly those with modest automatic transmission drivetrains.
