About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Clean but somewhat used as-raced. Soiled belts, scratched paint. No relief valve and not run since 2000 but described as all there. Raced in 12 of the 1985 season's 14 races, mostly driven by Al Unser during his championship winning 1985 season with best finish of second places at Michigan and Laguna Seca.

Market commentary

This is strong money for an aged Indy car that never won a race and will need to have boxcar loads of dollars lavished upon it before it can be driven at speed. It is even more expensive garage decor.
