About this car
Sold on Bring a Trailer on September 16, 2026 for $3,434. The car is in Richmond, VA. Its final price and sale date are recorded here as sold-price data, the same as a dealer's sold car. The full gallery and listing details come from the car's own auction page.
What the photos show
- white paint is dull and dusty on a car sitting on jack stands, budget a full cut and polish at minimum
- rust runs along the door shut edge and one underside corner is rotted clean through with a hole, that is major welding money
- chrome grille and bumpers look complete and polishable, no re-chroming needed to start
- blue seats and door cards look surprisingly sound with no tears showing, a deep clean may save a retrim
- dash wood and gauges look intact under the dust, no dash restoration evident
- headliner is torn at the rear grab handle, budget a headliner repair
- engine bay is filthy with corrosion on fittings and perished-looking hoses, budget a full recommissioning, not a detail
- trunk floor mats are disintegrating over a rusty, dirty floor, budget trunk floor work with the sill repair
Money: at $3,434 sold, the price matches a project — the complete interior and trim are the value, while the holed sill, rotten trunk floor and dormant engine bay are a restoration bill many times the price.
