About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Doors don't quite fit flush. Some chips coming off the wheels. Excellent interior. Light road wear underneath. Offered by the original owner, who raced the car in period and had it body-off restored it in 1999 in the original colors.

Market commentary

This was a huge price for an older restoration even in such well-preserved condition, but it bought a one-owner car that has had a lot put into it, so the bidders' enthusiasm for it is understandable.
