About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Raced when new by the Gelles brothers in FCA events, then at the Daytona 24 in 1985, finishing 16th overall. Later owned and vintage raced by Anthony Wang followed by Leigh and Leslie Keno. Restored by Dennison International in 2012. Represented as matching numbers engine, transaxle and body. Clean and orderly but race-used. Ferrari Classiche Red Book certified.

Market commentary

Offered at the Gooding Pebble Beach auction in 2011 before the most recent restoration where it was bid to $750,000. Both that result and the one here represent hammer bids just under the low estimate and might have been given close attention. It has an intriguing if not particularly successful history and deserves to get back on the track.
