Equipment
Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, Ansa exhaust, Simpson lap belts, Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel, factory air conditioning, power windows, later Alpine cassette stereo.
Condition
Fully restored in the 1990s and 8,000 miles ago. Very good paint other than a chip at the back edge of the hood and two more small ones at the back edge of the passenger's side door. Lightly scratched window frames. Very light wear to the steering wheel and seats but otherwise very good interior. Lightly used but tidy underneath. Well restored in the first place, 1998 FCA Platinum winner, and quite well kept since.
Market commentary
Reported in Mecum's results as bid to $725,000, well over the low estimate. Onsite I heard only $625,000 (confirmed with HammerPriceLive), so $725,000 must be a data entry error. This car has made the full Mecum tour, starting at Kissimmee last year and failing to sell a high bid of $800,000. Then it was off to Monterey, where it was not sold again at a $650,000 high bid and then Dallas back in November, once again not selling at a high bid of $700,000. At Kissimmee this year the high bid was $650,000 and at Houston a month ago it was $625,000, the low estimate here. The consignor is paying attention, but not anticipating the Daytona market's course.
