About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

39 original miles. Well maintained factory original finish other than several small chips on the nose. Chrome bumpers and brightwork are all original and in factory fresh condition. Underbody is unrestored and well maintained. Engine bay is factory original and very clean. Interior is all original with no wear. Still smells new and is described as freshly inspected and serviced.

Market commentary

This is essentially a brand new '78 Continental sedan, which is apparently worth 25 grand to someone. That's well over twice what most examples would expect to bring at auction, a hefty premium for originality and low miles
