Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Original but sound underneath. Lightly pitted bumpers. Tidy maintained engine bay. Older paint is crazing badly on top of the front fenders. Vinyl roof is slightly discolored but sound. Gold stripes are faded. Tiny rips in the driver's seat. Otherwise very good original interior. This car is a 20-footer. It looks great at first glance and really is quite good, but it reveals all its flaws up close.
Market commentary
This 4-4-2 was reported sold twice at Barrett-Jackson WestWorld in 2011, on the first day (Lot #72.2) for $31,900 and later (Lot #1533.1) for $24,200. At the Leake fall Dallas auction it sold for $35,200, then at Mecum Houston five weeks ago for $44,000. That proved to be the pinnacle of price but the result here is a bargain basement price that is difficult to understand even with the restricted 275hp drivetrain. The new owner would seem to have nowhere to go with it but up.
