This vehicle has been in single ownership since the early 1960s, into the 21st century. It was acquired by the current owner in 2004. Upon its purchase, the car was given a professional restoration. It was given a silver paint scheme, set off with blackwall tires and European-style headlamps. All the mechanical systems, brakes and suspension were rebuilt, and a new red leather interior was installed. When the work was completed, it was taken on the 2009 Colorado Grand, where it performed flawlessly.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at RM Auction's Arizona sale where it was estimated to sell for $520,000 - $600,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $572,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2011
