About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The product of a thoroughly documented restoration. Paint and brightwork are excellent, panel fit is superb. Terrific attention to detail throughout. A high-end, show-quality car.

Market commentary

An excellent example, but it seems that most of the 23,885 production run are on the market right now. Without a 4- or 5-speed manual transmission, they are boulevardiers, mostly driven by folks in gated communities who are too old to lift off the hard top. Given the law of supply and demand, the price was right.
