Condition
7
The car was reportedly found abandoned and then restored, suggesting it was not in top condition initially. However, the restoration work included refinishing the exterior, refreshing the brake system, rebuilding the engine, replacing the fuel tank and lines, and retrimming the interior. While the restoration improved the condition, slight wear may still be visible in paint, interior, or wheels. The presence of a replacement title may indicate some past issues or complications.
