About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The older repaint has a few cracks and touch ups but otherwise is holding up pretty well. Panel fit is a little uneven. Weather stripping looks good. The brightwork looks excellent. The interior looks good other than some cracks in the steering wheel and the dash padding a little discolored. Engine compartment looks good other than some signs of wear and flaking paint. Underneath shows some wear and a little surface rust on the frame rails. Restored, but done many years ago and starting to show its age just about everywhere.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2007, then not sold at a $56,000 high bid at Auburn Spring this year. It's added 368 miles to the odometer since 2007. This is a modest result for a mostly good car, which might also be described as mediocre.
