Condition
6
The car retains its originality to a high degree, including original paint, interior, dash, and leather. While the engine block has been replaced, extensive efforts were made to preserve the car's original finishes during recommissioning. The car has been stored for a long time, but it was done in a heated barn. With all of that said, the sides of the car were painted yellow.
