Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1958 Facel Vega FV4 'Typhoon' Coupe, chassis number FV457NY9, boasts a 354ci Chrysler Hemi V8 engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. Having had only three owners since new, with the current owner since 1966, the car was originally delivered to Pennsylvania and has undergone a recent engine rebuild. While repainted twice, it retains many original features, including ornaments, badges, and Robergel wheels.
Condition
7
The car has been repainted twice, which suggests some cosmetic wear and tear over its history. While it's described as being in original, preserved condition with many original parts, the need for repainting and the fact that it was put into storage in the 1970s indicates it's not in pristine or near-perfect condition. Recent engine rebuild suggests attention to mechanical upkeep, but the overall description points to a car that's been well-maintained but shows some age and use.
