The car is described as an 'oily rag' example, suggesting moderate wear and tear. It has undergone a bare-metal respray and has had some mechanical work done (engine rebuild, brake work, etc.), indicating that it needed some reconditioning. While it's mechanically sound, it's also described as being ready for a new owner to enjoy 'as is' or restore to a higher standard, implying that it's not in top cosmetic condition.
