Equipment
Automatic, Blaupunkt multi band radio. Shiny repaint over modest preparation. Sound but lightly soiled interior, bright window trim scuffed by sloppy paint prep. A few minutes considering this Ghibli SS resulted in the conclusion its a handsome but marginally maintained driver. No Reserve.
Market commentary
Sold by RM in Monterey in 2003 for $50,820 in essentially the same conditon (just six years fresher) the seller should pay RM a bonus for getting this price after it stalled at about $40K. Ian Kelleher, Brent Earlywine and Rob Myers took over and worked this bolide to a truly impressive result by their persuasive efforts and earning its owner a 4.6% return at the hammer price. Its automatic transmission drivetrain and superficial cosmetically restored presentation wouldnt have been a good deal at $50K hammer, even with the 4.9 V 8. It is beautiful, though.
