Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

OZ Ruote wheels, Pirelli P Zero tires, tinted windows, power windows, air conditioning, Alpine cassette stereo and a backup camera added to help with that awful rear visibility.

Condition

#2 Excellent

Could win a regional car show. Drives like new.

About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Recent restoration finished last year with new paint, rebuilt drivetrain and rebuilt brakes. Paint looks a little older than last year but there aren’t any blemishes. Seats are original, but lightly worn and didn’t need replacing. Very tidy underneath. Switchgear and gauges are original as well. Not done over top to bottom, but enough to result in an attractive, reasonably fresh-looking car.

Market commentary

Reported sold only back in November at Mecum Dallas for $231,000. Presented here with the same description and the same condition, so it's still a car let down by a superficial restoration with cosmetic oversights and questionable mechanical work. Just as in Dallas, the sold price here reflects recognition of the car's shortcomings on the part of the seller.
