Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good clearcoat repaint, chrome and creased, surface cracked original interior. Orange peely door window frames. Old, peeling undercoating in the wheelwells. The engine compartment has had some attention to the top but little or none to the bottom. A decent cosmetic redo to driver condition.
Market commentary
C/4s used to be given a 'lick and a promise' to dress them up for auction, but that was when they were underappreciated $100,000 Ferraris. Now that they're a third of a million (or more) and getting mega-bucks restorations bidders expect more. In that regard this C/4 disappointed and goes a long way to explaining why it fell short of its optimistic consignor's expectations. The bid is more appropriate to its condition than the estimate range.
