Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

426 425hp Hemi, 4 speed, pistol grip shifter, pushbutton radio, rally wheels, P S, P B. A presentable older cosmetic restoration. Old undercoat on underbody, oily chassis and engine compartment corners. Good paint, interior and chrome. Reasonably well presented in good driver condition with miles on the engine and chassis. The catalog made a big deal of the fact that this was: the only known Plum Crazy White coupe, one of 58 Plum Crazy Challengers and the first of only five Canadian build Hemi Challengers. No Reserve.

Market commentary

All those numbers are, at the bottom line, insignificant. This is a handsome Hemi Challenger, rare enough and valuable enough for its 4 speed Hemi drivetrain and little else. It brought a reasonable price here quite aside from the hype and innuendo. Buyers are becoming quite intelligent and arent swayed by phony distinctions that leave negligible substantive value.
