Equipment
455/335hp HO, automatic, power brakes and steering, power top, honeycomb wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, bucket seats with console, pushbutton AM radio, Rally gauges, PHS documentation.
Condition
Very good paint and brightwork. The top is tight and straight. The hood latch was a bit sticky and the door gaps need minor adjustment. The engine and underbody are immaculately restored and the interior is completely redone. A beautiful car needing very little. Restored recently and reportedly has only test miles on it.
Market commentary
17 of these cars were built, and they are worth well over twice their hardtop counterparts. Bidding petered out on this example at 30 grand short of Mecum's reasonable low estimate, and it should have been at least that much before being realistically considered. It will likely find an appropriate number at another venue, but risks following a softening market down.
