Condition 

7

While the car is described as having a well-kept, high-quality restoration in the original colors and is showing beautifully today, it is also noted that the car has been enjoyed and maintained since purchase in 2016, suggesting some use and potential wear. The listing also mentions that it is 'ready to be toured and enjoyed' implying that it may need some minor cosmetic or mechanical attention to be in top condition. The presence of prior owners (including Dale Chihuly) and maintenance history also suggest that the car is not in pristine, untouched condition.
