About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Original paint other than one spot on the passenger's side front fender. Multiple stone chips along the front with heavy wear at door entries. Top is a replacement but still old and a little dirty. Front and rear bumpers have been repainted gloss black. Underbody is unrestored, with some light undercoating. Engine compartment looks well maintained with new carburetor, fresh tune up and all shielding in place. Not totally original, but unrestored, used and not particularly good.

Market commentary

Sold for $5,750 at Leake Dallas last year, which was a real bargain and makes for a successful flip this time around even at this relatively modest price although after commissions, entry fee and transportation it's basically a wash. Fun to own and drive, perfect for wet, muddy dogs and little kids to ride in.
