About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as original with 46,737 actual miles. The paint is old but it isn't original. There are masking errors around the roof as well as large chip behind the passenger's door. Several more chips on the hood. The chassis looks like it got undercoating at some point. Sound original interior with light general wear and crazing on the painted dash. Not honestly advertised, and essentially just a driver quality Tri-Five Bel Air without many options.

Market commentary

Sold at Mecum Indy in 2008 for $33,863 and here in 2012 for $82,500, a magnanimous result that is somewhat remedied by the result here, although it is still expensive with the sloppy old repaint. The trouble is that if it is repainted again it's even farther from the "original" condition on which at least in part this price is based.
