About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Uneven engine block stamping. Excellent paint, chrome, interior, top and glass. Impressively flat panels, flush fits and even gaps. Fresh and sharp engine compartment. Underbody is better than new. 2014 AACA National First Prize and deserves it.

Market commentary

The engine stamping is not reassuring, and nowhere does the consignor represent it as original or even correct. That aside, however, the restoration is magnificent, crisp and fresh, a car that could not be duplicated for the price it brought. The buyer has a Chevy of indisputable quality and performance.
