Market commentary
The lack of appeal of this C/4 is apparent from how many times it has tried to find a susceptible new owner. From Russo and Steele in Monterey in 2011 when it was reported sold for $86,900, through Bonhams Greenwich in 2017 where it was reported bid to $190,000 and Worldwide in Pacific Grove (Monterey) in 2017 where it sold for a reported $205,000, to Mecum Monterey in 2019 where it was bid to $225,000. It’s just a money sink that has added 822 miles since 2017. Owning a car like this that don’t start, have unreliable electrical systems and run erratically will put anyone off buying collector cars making it realistic to flip ’em quick (or hire a fulltime mechanic). The consignor is fortunate it went away. The second happiest day is when it was sold. Now it’s the new owner’s problem.
