The car is described as a unique custom creation built from a 1929 LaSalle chassis and a 1935 Cadillac V-16 engine. It was acquired in disrepair 16 years ago and has since been piecemeal maintained. It's reported to be a good runner, having been recently started after four years of storage. It has a dual electrical system (12 volts for starting and 6 volts for running). This suggests a condition that is not pristine but functional with some level of wear and tear. Given its history and modifications, it likely requires some level of reconditioning to bring it to a higher standard.
