​Condition Report

​Paint: Good vintage condition. The Magenta Spectraflame retains a deep, metallic luster. There are scattered "flea bite" chips on the front nose, fender edges, and rear engine cover. Some light surface toning is present.

​Glass: The dual windshields (front and rear) are both present and intact, showing light scuffing but no cracks.

​Chassis and Wheels: The base shows standard vintage oxidation. The axles are slightly bent, causing the wheels to sit at uneven angles, which is common for this casting due to its thin axle wires. The wheels show moderate chrome loss on the hubs.

​Engine: the rear chrome engine detail is present and remains in good condition.
