About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Tired paint and plastic bumpers. Lightly worn interior. Light rash on the wheels. Rearview mirror is coming apart. Aged, but it is all there, is a rare and desirable SS model, and is represented with low miles. Could be driven as is for a few years, then restored to show car condition without being complicated.

Market commentary

Being a later US-market Merak without the Citroen-inspired complexity makes this particularly desirable, especially with the original paint, interior and low miles. Fortunately it has enough miles and patina that a few thousand more won''t have much if any effect on its value as long as the maintenance continues to be kept current and it is a good value at this price.
