Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1963 Facel Vega Facel II, chassis number HK2 A178, is one of fewer than 185 produced and was originally delivered to the United States. It was well-optioned from new with air conditioning and wire wheels. The car has been restored, though it now features a non-original 383 Hemi V8 engine and has been in static display since 2011.
Condition
6
The car has been restored to a high quality but it's been on static display for over a decade and requires recommissioning. It also has an engine that is not original to the car and minor concessions to drivability have been made, such as a modern alternator.
