AI Listing Summary
This is a rare 1957 Facel Vega FV3B, one of only 92 produced, with a rich history including being originally delivered to Jean Paul Elkann, grandfather of Stellantis and Ferrari chairman John Elkann. The car has undergone engine rebuild and restoration work in the past and has been maintained, but the carburetor needs overhauling.
Condition
6
The car has been restored, regularly maintained, and is described as being in generally good condition. However, the carburetor needs to be overhauled, suggesting it is not in perfect mechanical condition. There is no mention of any current cosmetic issues. Based on this, the car appears to be in good shape and would require minor reconditioning to bring it to excellent status.
