Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires.

Condition

Early 1980s restoration to concours standards, now showing its age. Rust pits on wheel spokes and hubcaps. Still excellent paint, interior and brilliant engine compartment.

Market commentary

A landmark car but not particularly rare. Exceptionally restored but no longer ready for top concours and too nice to drive hard. Fully valued at this price.
