While the car underwent a 100-point ground-up restoration, it was finished in 1994. The listing details some of the work done, specifically the restoration and some of the options, and mentions awards won in the past. The listing does not mention the current state of the paint, interior, or mechanics, so rating it higher than Very Good is not possible.
