Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

AM FM Cassette. Excellent paint and bodywork but much pitted, rusty trim chrome. Good glass, top and upholstery. The can of brake fluid on the floor doesnt impart a feeling of confidence, however.

Market commentary

The consignor claimed $16,000 was spent on the restoration and the bodywork, paint, glass, top and interior looked like it. The details, however, suggested it was rushed to completion and left many things undone, never a comforting concept in an auction car. At this price the new owner can finish the job right and still have a profit.
