Equipment
5340cc/320hp V8, Torqueflite automatic, alloy wheels, air conditioning, original radio.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Faded paint with some blistering on the hood and doors. The lower fascia is broken and hanging loosely. The mechanicals are old and oxidized, and the interior is heavily faded and worn. An exceptionally scruffy and neglected DBS needing a full restoration.
Market commentary
For years now, a steady stream of scruffy and neglected vintage Aston Martins (many of them from the '70s) from a collection in the Middle East has been coming to auction. This is presumably another one. At this point, any possible demand for an Aston Martin restoration project has long been satisfied and the prices are getting downright cheap. Is this DBS V8 worth saving? Maybe. But it's also probably worth more than the auction price in parts at this point.
