This Tucker 48, chassis number 1040, has undergone multiple restorations, including a complete restoration in 1985 by Tucker expert Russ Brownell and a more recent restoration to Waltz Blue, a factory color. The car has been upgraded with a strengthened Y-1 transmission and version 2 rubber torsion tube front suspension, along with an unused factory spare engine (no. 33579). The listing states it has the "freshest concours-quality restoration of any Tucker extant," and calls it "the finest restored example available today at any price."
